When it has boiled for about 30 minutes, add in blended Njansa, all spices and chopped onions and season. DO NOT add spices and seasoning at the beginning (when using meat) because the flavours will greatly reduce by the time your soup is done. Adding spices half-way leads to well-seasoned protein and a very tasty soup. However, if using fish, add spices from the beginning because the fish will cook rapidly. That's basically it. Your Pepper Soup is ready!

Hello, great blog. Just discovered it today. In my book, pepper soup is not much without "Masepu". Guess you can find it in yankee. Look for scent leaves or Hyssop, chop roughly or put in whole at the start of cooking. Takes this it to a whole new level. A pinch or two of black pepper (the traditional one called bush pepper) helps a lot too, but this is kinda optional 'cuz I hardly ever find it when searching. Lol. Keep up the good work sis.

Thanks for the Masepo tip, sis. I found it here once at the farmer's market. I'll definitely try it if I find it again. Hope to see more of you here!

I really love this blog. The pictures of the spices used is so helpful to me as I trot duplicate the flavors I fell in love with visiting Cameroon on two ocassions. I don't eat cray fish so that changes things. I substitute anchovy fish sauce. Can you suggest a substitute or something else that is not a shell fish?
Also, have you done anything on fufu cornmeal. I love it but mine does not come close to what I had at "home" (I am actually American by consider myself an African living in American). Thank you again for the great blog.
Precious says
Hi Mbah, so glad the blog is helpful to you! And I'm so happy to meet you too!
Now to your questions - there is no substitute to crayfish that I know of. Fish sauce sounds like a great choice! Also do you eat dried fish? Depending on where you live, you could get that from African stores. That could work as a substitute for crayfish. OR you could purchase crayfish flavored Maggi cubes from African/Asian stores.
I have a recipe and video on corn fufu! Check it out here: https://www.preciouscore.com/fufu-njama-njama-and-kati-kati-recipe/
Hope this helps! ?
