How to make Guinea Fowl Peppersoup

Guinea Fowl peppersoup…something spicy , something flavorful, something low fat .

Quite a number of visitors to this site have frequently requested for weight reducing diets, and I have resisted making recommendations on line. As a Dietitian/Nutrition I need to have more information like lifestyle, current weights, eating habits, age , some medical history and lots more to be able to calculate calories etc and recommend such diets, as well as follow up the progress.  So I am sorry if I have disappointed some of you. However today’s dish is one that is not heavy on carbs and if you are looking for something light say for dinner or even lunch , this is it.
Guinea fowl meat with its dark color is one that many do not eat frequently because the bird itself is small so can it be that for the same price we can buy chunkier chicken meats so the feeling that Guinea fowl is not value for money. But guess what ,Guinea fowl with less fat is actually the better option and the meat is sweet.
This dish came quite easy with very few ingredients. My light soup with sprinkles of macaroni  was ready in no time. The ‘face’ of the soup is not oily and inviting to the eyes but trust me the mouth will like it. I got the whole house smelling  of the nice aroma of lemon grass in addition to delivering a healthy bowl of Guinea fowl peppersoup. My nose drips as I drink my soup with a loud slurp , who cares….,we eat differently when at home, don’t we ?  🙂
