Categories     Plantain     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 green plantains, peeled (page 623) and cut into chunks
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
6 cups beef, chicken, or vegetable stock, preferably homemade (page 160 or 162)
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
Cayenne or hot red pepper flakes to taste, optional
Salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the plantains, lime juice, stock, and garlic in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer until the plantains are very soft, about 30 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the plantains and garlic to a food processor or blender and process, gradually adding just enough broth, about 1 cup, to make a smooth paste. Pour the paste back into the saucepan and whisk over low heat until the soup is thickened and heated through. Season with cayenne if desired and salt and pepper and serve hot.
  • Thin Plantain Soup
  • This is more of a broth than a creamy puree: Instead of slicing the plantains, grate them. Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 30 minutes. Strain and serve with lime wedges (garnish with cilantro if you have it).
  • Chunky Plantain Soup
  • No straining or pureeing here: Instead of slicing the plantains, grate them; mince the garlic. Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 30 minutes. Stir well and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out nothing like the picture. It was watery and bland.

This soup was a disaster. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili pepper.

I'm not usually a fan of plantain soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and the plantains added a nice touch of sweetness.
