Yield: 1 servings

2 lb Mixed Produce -- * see note

* yam, tannia, cassava, dasheen etc.

1. Put the salt beef to soak overnight. 2. Cut into small pieces and
cover with water (2 pints). 3. Bring to the boil and simmer gently
for 1 1/2 hours with beans or peas. 4. Add peeled and cut up produce.
5. Add the onions (quartered), pumpkin (cut up), chopped seasonings
and ochroes. 6. Cook until vegetables are tender.

Tip #1: You can add any type of meat to "beef" up this basically
meatless dish e.g. chicken, beef, pork etc. The only requirement is
that the pieces remain large otherwise they will disappear in the
soup. Tip #2: You can make some flour dumplings and plunk them in the
soup about 1/2 hour before you are ready. Tip #3: This soup gets very
thick very fast! A little water and butter will thin it out.
