This is not a bell pepper or chili pepper soup, but a ground spice pepper soup. In Gambia, it is said to heal you of the common cold.... or maybe it just opens up a stuffy nose and strips the soreness from your throat? VERY HOT soup!

8 cups water
1 tablespoon chicken soup base
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
hot cooked rice (optional)
Directions:
1. Boil chicken in a large pot for ten minutes with 8 cups of water and the chicken soup base.
2. Add black pepper, red pepper flakes, salt, and garlic powder.
3. Boil, uncovered, until there is about 2 - 2 1/2 cups of broth left in pan.
4. Stir in the can of tomato paste and cook until the soup is thick.
5. Serve over rice, if desired.
