Calabaza Vegetarian Soup image

This is a Caribbean vegetarian soup recipe that I found on the recipesources.com website. It's quite different than the other recipes with similar titles that are already posted to this site. Calabaza is a tropical squash with a slightly sweet flavor and firm texture, similar to the taste and texture of butternut or acorn squash.
