Red Peas Soup

Despite its name, and like most Jamaican soups, red peas soup is a thick, flavorful stew consisting of meat such as beef or pork, starchy vegetables such as yams, potatoes, and red peas, and tender, chewy dumplings. The stew is additionally flavored with seasonings such as pimento and thyme. It keeps very well in the refrigerator and is believed to taste even better when reheated the next day.
