Caribbean soups are hearty fare.
Ground provisions along with a variety of meats and some type of peas/beans/lentils and dumplings complete the ingredients for a large pot of soup. Thyme is a key seasoning and flavour ingredient in these soups. In Barbados, this type of hefty soup is referred to as
"blup blup soup". Blup-blup referring to the sound of the very thick soup as it bubbles in the pot.
