Goat meat simmered until it falls off the bone in a clear broth built on traditional pepper-soup spices. No thickener, no cream — just a thin, aromatic, seriously peppery broth that does more for a cold Edmonton night than anything else on the menu.
Pepper soup is deceptively simple. There is nowhere for a weak broth to hide, so the spice blend and the quality of the meat carry the whole bowl. We use bone-in goat and let it go long enough for the collagen to break down and give the broth body without any thickening.
The spice mix is the traditional West African pepper-soup blend — warm, slightly medicinal, and hot in a way that builds rather than hits. Guests order it when they are cold, when they are unwell, or when they just want something restorative.
Bone-in goat is simmered slowly with the pepper-soup spice blend until the meat gives way and the broth thickens naturally. It is served hot and travels well — if anything it is better ten minutes after it leaves the kitchen.
