Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Make the dumpling dough: In a small bowl, mix the flour and salt with a fork, then gradually add enough water to make a stiff dough that is still a little sticky.
  2. Flour your hands and shape the dough into a ball and set aside. Wash hands and set aside a little additional flour for later.
  3. For the soup: in a large pot, drain the soaked meats and rinse again to remove salt.
  4. Combine all meats with the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, until meat is tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Skim off any excess fat from the surface and add the pumpkin purees, stirring well to a smooth consistency.
  5. Add another cup or two of stock if you need to because you'll be adding all the other ingredients including the spinners *dumplings* and they will need the extra stock to cook properly.
  6. Make the spinners while soup cooks. Pinch off about a spoonful of dough for each dumpling and roll between hands until it looks like a small sausage—not too thick! Set aside.
  7. You can add more pumpkin now if you want a thicker soup (we didn't need it)
  8. Then add all remaining soup ingredients, except salt, (the meat may have added enough) and stir, being careful not to break the scotch bonnet hot pepper (or the dog will eat your supper!)
  9. Bring to a boil, then drop in the dumplings and stir. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are turning soft and dumplings are cooked through.
  10. Adjust seasonings and salt to taste. (If the soup has gotten too thick, add a little more broth until desired consistency.) Now enjoy!
