Melt the Jersey butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, chilli powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, stir in the Jersey milk for extra creaminess. (Optional)
