Tips

  • Don't do too much with goat meat as it is quite flavorful on its own, so don't get carried away with seasonings.
  • Marinating the meat for about an hour or even overnight helps to build up flavors.
  • Do not add too much water; you need just enough to cover the meat to ensure a concentrated broth, which determines the taste of your soup.
  • If fresh Uda seeds are not available, they are often included in pepper soup spice mixes, but you can add extra for more heat.
  • Basil can be used as a substitute for scent leaves.
