Chef Marcus Samuelsson's Take on Callaloo image

Callaloo is the national dish of my country. This is a chef's version of this dish as featured in Oprah's magazine. It is nothing like the traditional Trinidadian soup which utilizes the leaves of the dasheen(taro) plant. This is actually a Spinach soup as most of the ingredients are different. This doeasn't appeal to my tastes and I don't have any intention of making it but others may enjoy it.

I am a vegetarian, so I omitted the shrimp from this recipe. The callaloo was still delicious and flavorful.
