A robust, meaty soup simmered with whole goat pieces, root vegetables, and aromatic spices until the broth is deeply flavourful and the meat falls off the bone.

Ingredients

1 kg goat meat on the bone, cut into pieces
3 large potatoes, cubed
2 carrots, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 inches ginger, grated
3 scotch bonnet peppers
2 bouillon cubes
1 tsp thyme
Salt to taste
6 cups water

1 Season goat meat with salt, garlic, ginger, and thyme. Boil until tender, about 1 hour.
2 Add potatoes, carrots, onion, peppers, and bouillon.
3 Simmer 20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
4 Adjust seasoning. The broth should be rich and full-bodied.
5 Serve in deep bowls with bread or rice.

Did You Know?

Liberians believe the bones make the broth — goat soup must be cooked with bone-in meat, and chewing the bones is considered the best part.
