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.

I love the flavor of this soup, but I found it to be a bit too thick. I added some extra water to thin it out, and it was perfect.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after I make a roast chicken, and this soup is the perfect way to use them up.

This soup is delicious, but it is very spicy. If you don't like spicy food, you may want to use less Scotch bonnet pepper.

I made this soup exactly as the recipe said, and it turned out great! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, and I added a little extra Scotch bonnet pepper. It was perfect!

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this soup was surprisingly mild. The flavors were still very rich and delicious.
