About this dish
Pepper pot soup is a thick stew of beef tripe, vegetables, pepper and other seasonings. The soup was first made in South America and the Caribbean before being brought to North America through slave trade and made into a distinctively Philadelphian dish by colonial Black women during the nineteenth century. It was one of the first street foods in the United States, sold by so-called "Pepper Pot women", and was at one point the symbolic food of the city of Philadelphia.
