Greetings @stef1, what gives the soup a unique taste is the smoked meat, smoked fish, and crayfish. Without them, the soup will not taste good.

For the timing of the meat, it all depends on the means you used to boil it. Using a pressure pot takes about 5 to 10 minutes to cook well. For our normal gas cooker, it takes about 45. For the local fireside, it takes about 1hour. Thank you for the support.
