CUBAN GREEN SOUP
This is a great recipe from Tampa, where I loved the Cuban restaurants. I had this soup in several restaurants before I found the recipe! If you have a small army to feed, you may add a few potatoes and stalks of celery. I have never done that even when serving for several teenage boys!! This soup freezes well.

CALDO GALLEGO ESTILO CUBANO - GALICIAN SOUP CUBAN STYLE
Loosley based on various recipes I found on the internet but it is with Jesus Tarifa's, our chef here at the home, help and guidance that brought the recipe to post. It brings back a lot of fond memories but when it was made in our home in Cuba it was made with bacon and chorizos only! It is a robust soup that is hearty and delicious! It is a whole meal and is wonderful! It hails from Spain but the Cubans adopted it as their own, as they have with many of their recipes. Here, we have made it with collard greens but it can be made with Swiss chard, kale, or even spinach. These beans do better if soaked overnight.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, place the green beans in boiling, salted water. Cook, uncovered, until fully cooked, about 6 minutes. If you like your beans w/ a little crunch, cook 3-4 minutes.

- Remove from heat.
- Stir in fresh lime juice.
- Pour sauce over cooked green beans and toss to coat evenly. Season w/ salt pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe plantains: Look for plantains that are mostly black with a few hints of yellow or green.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the soup from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: Add the ingredients in batches so that they can cook evenly.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include avocado, cilantro, sour cream, and tortilla chips.
