Steps:
- If you are using pig's tail, soak it in two 10-minute water baths and rinse. Place it in a large soup pot along with the beef, pumpkin and water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the pumpkin has dissolved and the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Meanwhile, to prepare the spinners, in a medium-size bowl, sift together the flour and salt. And the water and blend with a wooden spoon until a ball is formed. Flour your hands and knead slightly to form a soft dough. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Cover and set aside.
- When the meat is tender, remove it from the pot. Separate the meat from the bones, chop it, and return it to the pot. Bring to a brisk simmer over medium heat and add the scallions, garlic, Scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, salt (if not using pig's tail), and black pepper. If using, place the yam in the pot.
- Bring to a simmer again. Form the spinners by rolling small pieces of dough between your floured palms to form 1-inch-long oblong shapes. Drop the spinners into the soup one at a time. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Continue to cook the soup for 15 minutes. Remove the whole Scotch bonnet pepper before serving.

BEEF, PUMPKIN, AND SHIITAKE SOUP
This deceptively simple recipe is inspired by flavors from around the world: from Vietnamese pho to a rustic French stew to the famous oxtail soups from the Caribbean. When the beef chuck or neck bones are fork-tender, you add the vegetables that won't need long to cook. Fresh basil and a splash of fish sauce are not to be skipped-the latter adds an exceptional hint of umami flavor.

Steps:
- Combine beef and 10 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam and impurities from surface. Add half of onion, 2 teaspoons salt, peppercorns, bay leaf, thyme, pumpkin peels, shiitake stems, and cabbage leaf. Gently boil over medium-low heat, partially covered, until meat is falling-off-the-bone tender, about 2 hours. Strain (if you want a clear broth, line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth), reserving broth and beef and discarding remaining solids. Wipe pot clean.
- Return broth and beef to pot. Coarsely chop remaining onion half and transfer to pot, along with pumpkin and mushroom caps. Simmer over low heat until pumpkin is crisp-tender but still holding its shape, about 10 minutes. Stir in cabbage and basil sprig; simmer until cabbage is tender but still vibrant green, about 5 minutes more. Remove and discard basil. Stir in fish sauce and lime juice. Add more salt, fish sauce, and lime to taste, and serve topped with basil leaves.
Tips:
- Select the right pumpkin: Choose a small, sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin that is about 3 to 4 pounds in size. Make sure it has a smooth, unblemished skin and a deep orange color.
- Prepare the pumpkin: Cut the pumpkin in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Brush the inside of the pumpkin with melted butter and season it with salt and pepper.
- Roast the pumpkin: Place the pumpkin halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender.
- Make the soup: In a large pot, sauté onions, garlic, and ginger in olive oil until softened. Add the roasted pumpkin flesh, vegetable broth, and spices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Puree the soup: Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with pumpkin seeds, croutons, or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Martha Stewart's pumpkin soup in a pumpkin is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for fall gatherings. The soup is creamy, flavorful, and has a beautiful presentation. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this soup at home and enjoy the taste of the season.
