Soup Joumou

A pumpkin soup made with beef, vegetables, and pasta, served on Independence Day.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine beef cubes with lime juice and apple cider vinegar. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the whole Scotch bonnet pepper, cubed calabaza squash, carrots, turnip, potatoes, and cabbage to the pot.
  5. Pour in water or beef stock, ensuring the ingredients are covered. Bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to simmer and cover the pot. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes.
  7. Remove the Scotch bonnet pepper and discard. Stir in macaroni or small pasta, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  8. Continue to simmer until the pasta is cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if necessary. Serve hot.
