Pumpkin Soup

2 ½ lbs pumpkin
½ chocho
1bs yam
½ lbs dashen, malanga, and or potatoe
½ lbs boniata
1lbs of yellow yam
½ lbs carrot
1 whole onion
2-4 scallions
½ lbs
3 handfuls of Callaloo (spinach or cabbage can be used in stead)
Plenty of freshly minced garlic
3-spring thyme
6-10 whole dry bay leaves
1 Scotch bonnet pepper
sea salt to taste if you desire so

Add all roots, malanga, carrot, dashen, potatoes, etc in a pot and bring to boil with just enough water to barely cover .
Mean while cook pumpkin in just enough water to barely cover with the lid on for about 30minutes or until puree . You might need to add more water to the roots and that is okay. When roots are done add it to the pumpkin puree and bring more water to the pot about ¾ way full. Add fresh seasonings. Garlic thyme etc… Cover pot and reduce the heat all the way. When the water has stopped boiling you may reduce the heat some more if possible and serve. This meal is best with a salad and or roti.

Soak Beans over night or cook them on stove top till mostly tender. When beans are about twenty minutes from being done add the yams Pimento, Thyme, Garlic, pepper, scallion, yellow pepper/sweet onion. Cook on medium for about ten minutes then add the pumpkin and carrots. Try and smash some of the red peas if they aren’t already crushing into a thick liquid itself. Some people have to actually take a few out a blend. After this Turn on low and simmer until al is tender is tender. ADD WATER AS NECESSARY. This soup tends to get very thick and it’s not necessary. ADD water to fit you own needs and taste. Tips….(1)use more pumpkin than stated and mash down with peas as part of the soup. (2)Add more water. Add dumplins.
