  TIPS FOR MAKING THE PERFECT AFRICAN PEPPER SOUP AT HOME

  Mincing the onions, garlic and ginger means everything
  cooks quickly as well as flavours the soup.

  If the meat is tough you would need a little bit extra
  cooking time - and test the meat every 15 mins. You may
  prefer to cook it in a pressure cooker to reduce meat
  cooking time.

  This soup is a drinking kind of soup so add a little bit
  more liquid if you want.

  This recipe calls for fresh chile but you can easily
  use some chile flakes or chile powder instead.

  A squeeze of lime adds a little extra depth to this
  soup.
