Classic Nigerian Catfish Pepper Soup

Season the catfish with the ginger, garlic, one seasoning cube, a little salt, and lemon juice, then set it aside to marinate.

Bring the water to a boil in a pot and add the blended Cameroon pepper and chopped onion.

Add the peppersoup spice and let the broth cook for about 10 minutes so the flavour opens up.

Gently add the catfish together with the remaining seasoning cube and smoked red crayfish.

Cover and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, taking care not to stir so hard that the fish breaks apart.

Add the ground crayfish and scent leaf, then adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.

Let the soup simmer for another 2 minutes before serving hot.
