Instructions

Clean conch and add to a pressure cooker. Add water to just cover the meat and pressure for 20 minutes or until tender.
Wash and prepare vegetables. Separate cut turnip. To a large pot add a gallon of water and bring to boil. Add turnip and boil for 10 minutes. Add conch that was pressured to pot.
To make the dumplings: combine together flour 1/2 cup water, pouring slowly, mixing and kneading until flour has a doughy consistency. If sticky, add more flour to mixture until doughy consistency. Set aside.
Pull up a small chunk of flour about 1/4 handful and make in a ball. Knead dough inwards with fingers then indent the middle so that it looks like a donut.
Add dumplings to pot and cook for ten minutes. Add yam, corn, regular potatoes, sweet potatoes, cho cho, and blocks of pumpkin quarters with skin. Cook for another ten minutes then add chopped pumpkin, chopped carrots, carrot blocks and cook for another ten minutes.
Remove blocks of pumpkin with skin about 4. Use a spoon and scoop out pumpkin from two of them and add back to pot. Set the other aside to serve with soup.
Add Grace Cock Soup (2 packs), garlic, allspice, scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, celery and scallion. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Serve hot or warm. Serve with additional pumpkin blocks removed earlier.
