Nigerian Peppersoup Seasoning Substitute

by Chinedu Okoro

This recipe provides a simple substitute blend for Nigerian peppersoup seasoning, a spice blend commonly used in many Nigerian soups and stews. Traditional components are often difficult to find outside of Africa, making this adapted blend a convenient alternative using more readily available spices. Note that this blend does not include tamarind, so an additional acid like lime or lemon juice should be added to the soup when using it.
