In the Caribbean, pumpkins are often called calabaza, or just winter squash. Calabaza are a little different from our North American pumpkins, being green skinned instead of orange. The flesh of the calabaza is perfectly orange, though, and the taste is very similar.
Usually this soup is traditionally not pureed, instead it has chunks of vegetables in a broth. Often, a Jamaican pumpkin soup will have a Scotch Bonnet or Habanero pepper, which are extremely hot.
