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. Virginie & George Ebart, Down-Island Caribbean Cookery File
