Haitian Dining With Marie's video: HOW TO MAKE HAITIAN JOUMOU aka SQUASH SOUP

Hi Everyone, Welcome back to my channel !! and in today's video I will show you how to make haitian soup also known as Soup Joumou. Ingredients: 3lbs of beef stew meat 1 buttercup squash 1 hot green pepper 2 leeks 1 turnip 2 carrots half a cabbage head 2 celery sticks 1 african yam ( I chose to put yams because potatoes will make it mushy) 2 tablespoons of butter 1 lime handful of parsley with 7 branches of thyme tied together 6 pieces of cloves 1 cup of macaroni ziti 1 cup of thin spaghetti split in half Ingredients for Flour dumplings: (optional) half cup of water 1 packet of Goya Chicken Bouillon 1 teaspoon of garlic 2 cups of All Purpose Flour I CHOSE TO PUT DUMPLINGS IN MY SOUP BECAUSE I LIKE TO EAT IT WITH SOUP. YOU DONT NEED TO ADD THIS TO YOUR SOUP. THIS IS MY HAITIAN WAY OF MAKING SOUP. Directions: Rinse meat off with cold water then add epis, salt, blended herbs, seasoned salt and garlic powder. Work spices into meat until well distributed, cover and set aside. Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot on high flame for the squash and cook for 20-30 mins or until pumpkin is fork tender.The same goes for the yam. Let the meat cook for 30-40 minutes on medium low heat. Remove cooked pumpkin and squash from the pot. Using a strainer and a large bowl, place strainer over the bowl and begin to blend the squash. Use liquid from pot that you boiled the squash in to help get your puree to a smoother consistency while blending. On a medium flame, pour squash puree into pot with the meat that has even cooking for 40 mins in medium low Add the vegetables along with celery and parsley until vegetables are tender. You can salt for your preference. Then you will add the macaroni ziti, spaghetti and butter into the soup. For the Flour dumplings: Add the goya packet to the flour along with the half cup of water and began kneading it. Add a bit of flour to avoid it sticking to your hands when rolling it and add it to the soup. After 30 min, remove the celery and parsley from the soup Add a tablespoon of lime juice into the soup along with the cloves and let cook for another 15 to 20 minutes. After the yam is cool after boiling for 30 mins, you can add it to the soup and voila. You now have your soup joumou
