Ghislaine's Jamaican Soup
As a passionate home cook with years exploring Caribbean flavors, I've relied on trusted recipes like this one from my friend Ghislaine. Well-spiced and hearty, it's a complete meal that invigorates and warms you through winter.
In a bowl, mix flour, water, salt, pepper, and crumbled thyme into a smooth dough.
In a pan, sauté the garlic, chili, and finely chopped chives in a little oil.
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring 1½ liters of lightly salted water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil, pepper, and a few thyme sprigs.
Form small dough balls the size of large hazelnuts, roll into finger-like shapes, and drop into the boiling water.
Add the canned beans to the pot, followed by the sautéed garlic-chili mixture.
Lower the heat, stir in the coconut cream, then add cubed yam and pumpkin.
Finally, add the carrot sliced thinly.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes over low heat until tender. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting classic.
