Conch is the favorite seafood in the Caribbean, and there are many ways that it’s enjoyed. This recipe for Jamaican Conch Soup is a nice warm bowl of comfort and local flavors. The broth is light and flavored with local herbs, seasonings, vegetables, and dumplings to create a complete and satisfying meal. We have also provided the option to add some extra spice with scotch bonnet peppers, as is traditionally done in Jamaica.
