Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Place pumpkin in a blender. Cover and blend until pureed.

  2. Stir pureed pumpkin, beef, soup bones, and salt into the water, add beef broth, garlic, thyme, and ground black pepper. Cover the soup and simmer until until beef is nearly tender and cooked through, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

  3. Stir corn, carrots, potato, noodles, bitter melon, radish, Scotch bonnet chile pepper, and green onions into the soup, cook uncovered until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Recipe Note

This is my one of my favorites soups to make. I do it my way, which is quick and easy but just as good.
