SPICY PUMPKIN SOUP - CARIBBEAN STYLE

Steps:

• Boil split peas in a large pot of water with the garlic until soft, about 40 minutes.
• Boil pumpkin in a pot with just enough water to cover, about 3 cups. Add adobo/ buillon or seasoning to pot, if using.
• Cook pumpkin until soft, about 20 minutes after it comes to a boil.
• Using a blender or by hand with a masher, puree pumpkin with the cooking water.
• Add an additional 2 cups of water.
• Add thyme and scotch bonnet and bring to a boil.
• Simmer for 10 minutes until the broth is smooth and homogenous.
• Add the smoked chicken and the cooked split peas.
• Add the potatoes and 1 cup of water.
• Simmer until the potato is cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Add parsley and salt as needed. Stir to combine.
• Remove the Scotch Bonnet pepper if you want to stop the spiciness at this point.
• If the soup has thickened too much with the addition of the potato, add a little more water until it is the perfect thickness for you.
