Instructions

1. 1

   In a large soup pot, combine the dried kidney beans, smoked turkey, garlic, allspice berries, and 8 cups of water.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 60 minutes or until the beans are tender. Add more water if necessary to keep ingredients covered.

3. 3

   Stir in the coconut milk, cubed yam, chopped scallion, and fresh thyme. Carefully add the whole scotch bonnet pepper (do not burst it unless you want very high heat).

4. 4

   While the soup simmers, prepare the spinners. In a bowl, mix the flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the 1/2 cup water, kneading until a firm dough forms.

5. 5

   Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them between your palms to create thin, spinner-like shapes. Drop them directly into the boiling soup.

6. 6

   Simmer the soup uncovered for another 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the soup thickens to your liking and the yam is soft.

7. 7

   Remove the scotch bonnet pepper and thyme stems before serving hot.
