Directions
Simmer all the ingredients except the salt, pepper and chili pepper, in 6 cups of water for 1 hour.
Strain the liquid into a bowl and allow the solids to cool.
Purée the cooled solids.
Return the purée to the soup pot along with the strained liquid.
Simmer, uncovered, until the mixture is reduced to a syrup-like consistency.
Add the seasonings while simmering and serve very hot.
VARIATION: Add ½ pound fresh okra after pureeing the vegetables above.
