- Season the oxtail with the green seasoning. Place the oxtail in a pressure cooker, Instant Pot, or large pot with 3 cups of water and cook until partially tender.1½ pounds oxtail, 2 tablespoons green seasoning
- Transfer the oxtail and cooking liquid to a large soup pot. Add the split peas, garlic, onion, celery, scallions, thyme leaves, pimento peppers, all-purpose seasoning, and 2 cups hot water.

- Use an immersion blender to partially blend the split peas until the soup develops a thick, hearty consistency. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully remove a portion of the soup, blend it separately, and return it to the pot.
- Add the pumpkin, carrots, sweet potato, corn, additional pimento peppers, and hot pepper if using. Add the remaining 2 cups hot water and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender.½ cup diced carrots, 1 cup diced pumpkin, 1 small sweet potato, 1 ear corn, 1 hot pepper, 7 cups hot water

- Add the dumplings and cook until they are fully cooked through. If needed, add a little more hot water to reach your preferred consistency.
- Taste and adjust with salt and black pepper as needed. Serve hot. Garnish with chopped scallions or parsley if desired.Black pepper, ½ teaspoon salt
