Below is a simple chicken soup with pumpkin, squash, corn and some little dumplings they call pillars. If you are a vegan person, this soup can be cooked without chicken and it’s still delicious. I like my soup simple but most Jamaican add different food kind to chicken soup such as yam, breadfruit, dumplings, cocoa, etc. None the less, it’s still delicious how ever you make it.
