Start by cleaning out the freezer and pantry to make the soup.

Add water to a large pot and include the pigeon peas and smoked turkey wing.

Bring the mixture to a simmer until the peas and turkey become super tender.

Add allspice berries to the pot.

Do not add any salt at this stage as the smoked turkey has enough sodium.

Prepare carrots, potato, and scallions, adding them to the pot.

Make dumplings using flour and salt, then add them to the soup.

Add hot sauce for heat, since scotch bonnet or habanero is not available.

Mix everything together and allow it to simmer until the potatoes are tender.

Plate the soup and enjoy.
