Combine all but the last three ingredients in a pot with 2 quarts of
boiling water. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, simmer the yam in lightly salted water until just tender.
Drain the water & reserve the vegetables.
Allow the soup to cool slightly. Strain the stock & set aside. Puree
the cooked solids & return to the pot. Add enough of the reserved
stock to form a syrupy consistency. In a small pan, reduce the
remaining stock until thickened & add it to the soup.
Add the salt, pepper & Sctoch bonnet. Simmer for 1 hour. 5 minutes
before serving, add the diced yams. Heat through & serve.
VARIATIONS: Replace the dasheen with 1 bunch of spinach.
Replace the yams with either malanga or dasheen root. Cook in the
same way.
