A delicious African spicy oxtail soup that will warm you up. Made with exotic spices and flavoured with ginger, garlic, hot scotch bonnet pepper, onions, celery and herbs.

Ok, here I go again . This time its oxtail pepper soup. Yes, pepper soup can be cooked with goat meat, fish, beef, shaki etc. goat meat.

If you are wondering what oxtail meat tastes like, I would say it taste just like lamb shanks or beef brisket. So feel free to replace oxtail with lamb shanks or beef brisket.

Despite the pepper pepper soup name, it can be made with or without hot scotch bonnet pepper. Although, most of the soups I have encountered have all been spicy hot. Some of them are so heavily spiced that it is hard for the average person to consume. The chilli you chose to use in your pepper soup is optional
