📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pepper soup is a spicy soup eaten in Liberia and across West Africa: fish, chicken, or goat is simmered with chili, onion, tomato, and spices. It's very hot and eaten while breaking a sweat. It's a favorite when you have a cold, at evening gatherings, and on rainy days.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a rainy-season night in Liberia, steam rises from bowls of red, spicy soup as the family eats, breaking a sweat.
