Haitian Pumpkin Soup Recipe

Use a 9 qt. kettle to boil the beef and the chicken. Remove scum. When the meat begins to get tender (about 2 hours or 1 hour in pressure cooker) add all vegetables. Continue boiling until meat is tender and vegetables are cooked (1/2 hour).

Turn off the heat and let cool. Cube the meat and strain the vegetables through a fine sieve. Return cubed meat and liquid to the kettle and bring to boil. Add the pimiento, being careful not to break or puncture it (It is added more for aroma than flavor).
