I love hispanic food and plantains are one of my favorite things to eat. Here is a unique soup for all you adventurous chefs:) Please do not let your plantains turn yellow-black because they will turn sweet. Must use green plantains.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It was still delicious!

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the scotch bonnet peppers. The soup was still delicious, but it lacked a little bit of heat.
