Instructions

Bring a stock pot of water to a boil.
Place the chicken, half of the squash, and the pimento berries in the stock pot with water.
Leave the pot to boil for 30 minutes.Skim off any excess foam that develops on the top of the boiling water.
Make the dumpling by placing the flour and pink salt in a medium sized bowl, add a little water at a time - you may need to add more or less water depending on the flour, the idea is to get a dough that you can easily form with your hands..
Mix the flour and water into a dough ball. Grab a golf ball sized piece of dough and roll it to create spinners (long shape).
Add the spinners, rest of the squash, chocho, potatoes, carrots, thyme, cock soup mix, and scotch bonnet to the soup.
Cook for another 30 minutes at medium heat, or until all flavors are blended.
Serve with fresh thyme and scallions on top.
