Best Soup in the WORLD!

Two years ago, I travelled to Nigeria with my family for the christmas holidays.

 

Like any other holiday, we treated ourselves to a variety of restaurants in the ikeji/ikoyi/lekki axis.

 

Now one food in particular stood out to me when we went into Yellow Chilli in Victoria Island. It is called Fisherman's Pepper Soup.  It fast became my favourite soup taking over the delicious Efo-Riro. I couldn't stop ordering it everywhere where we went, as a side dish or as a main meal. If you want it a bit heavier, you can add fresh okro for that extra crunch. Its no ordinary peppersoup. Its a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Food lovers out there will agree with me.

 

We came back to london and I searched far and wide for a recipe. Most of my friends in London thought I was referring to our usual peppersoup or ofe nsala with fish/seafood.

 

Fast forward two years later, I have finally found a recipe online. All thanks to a lady called Dunni Obata. You can find how to cook Fisherman Peppersoup and a host of other great nigerian/continental food recipes on her website www.dooneyskitchen.com.

 

I can't wait to go to the market, get all the ingredients I need and cook, cook cook!
