1 ham hock
1 pound stew beef, cut up
1 pound chicken pieces (thighs, wings, drumsticks)
4 chicken bouillion cubes
1 onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 habanero pepper, minced
1 piece dried fish (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 large potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 pound chopped okra
1/2 jar peanut butter

Steps:

  • Fill a heavy soup pot halfway with water and add ham hock. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes. Discard the water, put the ham hock back in the pot, and refill with water, again halfway up.
  • Bring to a boil, and add beef, chicken, chicken boullion cubes, onion, pepper, celery, habanero, dried fish and salt and pepper. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, until the meat is tender. Add potatoes; cook another 15 minutes.

This soup is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I would add more spices and vegetables to give it more flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really oily. I had to skim off a lot of the oil before serving.

This soup was a lot of work and the end result was not worth it. The soup was too thin and lacked flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out too salty. I had to add a lot of water to dilute it.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I used sunflower seed butter instead. The soup was still delicious!

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the cayenne pepper. The soup was still very flavorful.
