Pepper Mutton Soup

Pepper Mutton Soup recipe with step-by-step photos and a video! Warm up on a chilly winter day with a bowl of South Indian-style Pepper Mutton Soup. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also a healthy choice. This spicy soup is perfect as a home remedy for colds and flu. It’s one of my Mom’s signature recipes, passed down through generations, and true comfort food.

Whether you’re feeling under the weather or simply want to enjoy a hearty meal, give this recipe a try. Not only will you be satisfied by its taste, but you’ll also appreciate the benefits it offers to your health. Don’t hesitate to ask a loved one to prepare it for you, they will be happy to do so and you’ll thank them later!

Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for making delicious pepper mutton soup. Firstly, try to buy mutton with bones. Usually, mutton soup is made from the chest of goat /lamb.

Basically, it is a bone-based soup and it contains plenty of calcium and protein. It also makes for cozy comfort food when you are sick. The warmth and its divine taste will make you feel better not only physically, but mentally as well.

Secondly, try to add fresh ginger, garlic, and shallots. But if you don’t have shallots, then add 1/2 medium-sized onion. Finally, you can also add 1/2 tsp turmeric powder instead of fresh turmeric. But fresh turmeric gives you a nice aroma and a very good taste in your soup. It is also packed with anti-inflammatory properties.
