Authentic Pepper Pot Soup image

The authentic version uses tripe. I have never cared for tripe, myself, and I have always substituted chicken, beef, turkey, sausage or even ham instead.

PEPPER POT SOUP



Pepper Pot Soup image

I used to make this soup at a restaurant I worked at and it was by far one of the favorites. You can just use green peppers if you want, but I prefer to use a combination of peppers to add more color to the soup.

CHICKEN PEPPER POT SOUP



Chicken Pepper Pot Soup image

I got this fabulous recipe when I vacationed at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. The soup was on the Boma - Flavors of Africa Buffet. When I inquired about a cookbook with the recipe, the waitress went & got the recipe from the kitchen. This is posted in the same manner I got it, but I'll tell you that finding 1 gallon containers of broth is difficult. So I use 10 14oz cans, it's a little more, but just as good. I also usually use 2 poblanos. Using ready to go chicken tenders is a big time saver. I just sautee them in a little sesame oil & garlic before I dice them. This soup is very tasty and borderline addicitive. I've made several times since I got back. It is absolutley delicious the next day and freezes well. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

JAMAICAN CHICKEN PEPPER POT SOUP



Jamaican Chicken Pepper Pot Soup image

There are many, many variations of Pepper Pot Soup. This version contains chicken, although one could easily change to beef, by using diced lean beef and beef broth. The cream of coconut gives the soup a sweet flavour and the scotch bonnet pepper spices it up. The flavour is actually better the second day when reheated.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pepper: Scotch bonnet peppers are traditionally used in pepper pot soup, but you can also use habanero or jalapeño peppers for a milder flavor.
  • Soak the Beef: Soaking the beef in a vinegar solution before cooking helps to tenderize it and remove any impurities.
  • Use a Rich Stock: A flavorful stock made from beef bones or chicken bones adds depth and complexity to the soup.
  • Simmer for a Long Time: Pepper pot soup is a slow-cooked dish, so be patient and let the flavors develop over time.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh thyme, parsley, and cilantro add a vibrant flavor to the soup. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will have a less pronounced flavor.

Conclusion:

Pepper pot soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of different ingredients, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. With its bold flavors and complex textures, pepper pot soup is sure to become a favorite in your home.
