The ingredients for Bahamian Chicken Souse are:

3lbs Chicken Wings or parts (Can substitute for Turkey Wings or parts or Pork Ribs cubed)
2 Large Baking Potatoes, Raw

2 Medium Stalks of Celery
3 Garlic Cloves
2 Tbsp Whole Allspice (absolutely necessary)
2 Limes
Dried Red Pepper (Can use Fresh Bird or Goat Pepper)
Salt

Here is how you make Bahamian Chicken Souse:

Pre-Boil Chicken in large pot. (I usually only cover in an inch of water on high heat for a quick boil) Be sure to add salt and dried pepper to water. Keep checking pot and add a little water at a time as it boils down.While meat is pre-boiling do the following:-Peel and cut potatoes into medium cubes. Place in bowl of tap water until ready to place into pot (to prevent it turning brown).Cut onion into medium slices.Cut celery stalks into medium to small cubes.Crush and finely cut garlic cloves.Remove the meat from heat right before it reaches the desired tenderness. (If you chose to substitute the chicken for turkey or pork ribs, the boil time will greatly increase to reach tenderness).Throw away broth and rinse meat thoroughly. (The final soup should be clear and free of particles.)Put freshly rinsed meat in large pot.Add the potatoes, onion, garlic, whole allspice (key to unique flavor).Cover in water an inch above.Add salt and pepper to taste.Bring to a boil. When potatoes are almost done add celery. Remove from heat when potatoes are tender but be sure not to boil celery too much. (Keep slight crunch).Squeeze one lime in pot. Save and slice second lime to add flavor to separate servings.Makes 4 to 5 Servings. Be sure NOT to eat the whole allspice! It is strictly there to add the unique flavor.We Bahamians eat this SOUSE (pronounced 'sowse') along with "Johnny Cake" (similar to Cornbread, made with flour instead of cornmeal). You can serve this Souse with your favorite warm homemade or bakery bread or french bread! Enjoy!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user PAQTEQ.
