I liked this soup and I will make it again. However, there is something missing...not enough flavor. Next time, I will experiment with more spices to make it as tasty as it looks.

My roommate made this today and it was very nice. The only thing I feel it could use is a small bit of spice. Maybe some fresh jalape?o.. VERY Nice soup!!

I guess I just don't like plantains. I've tried them other ways & thought I might like this because I love cilantro & all the other ingredients in this soup I like but the plantain flavor just wasn't for me.




We loved it!

I tried this recipe because I love plantains. I've never had them green. I also made this with chorizo so that my husband would eat it. It was wonderful. What a nice combination of flavors.

Muchas gracias for this excellent soup. My husband is Colombian and hasn't had this soup since he was a kid. He loved it. I never had or heard of this before but I loved it as well. This was delicious and simple the flavors were fantastic together. The one thing I did different was add chorizo to the soup. My husband has to have meat in every meal which worked out great because if you don't want to make the little burgers you can have the soup alone with some crusty bread. Thanks for this excellent recipe keep them coming.

It reminded me of Mulligatawny soup with plantants instead of lentils. I used fresh lemons & a little cayenne pepper. It was delicous

This is sooo easy. Full of flavor. If you use 2 plantains, you will need extra lliquid as the starch makes it very thick. Since there is no cream in this, I will attempt to freeze.




I loved this!!

I thought this sounded unique and low fat, so I gave it a shot. I loved it! The flavors mesh well together and I loved the cilantro in it. I will be keeping this recipe.

I love soups and had never heard of "Plantain Soup" so when I saw this I had to try it. I cooked it the same day I saw it and it was soooo gooood. We are a latino family and familiar with the green plantain taste; therefore this was not a new introduction for us. I will be making this a lot during those cold winter days. Thank you chica.




loved it!

Strange mix of flavors

User: stacy from Miami, FL    User Rating:
I am a huge fan of Plaintain, but I have never tried it as a soup before. The flavors didn't really seem to blend for me. I'll still to boiled, baked and fried plantain. Maybe, I'm just not a fan of Latino food? Definately love authentic mexican and tex-mex. Can we see more of that?




This was just ok

I wanted to see Ingrid make this before making it. It turned out good, but I don't like the taste of boiled plantains. That ruined it for me. My friend who is of Spanish decent said it was good. By the way Carmen "J" isn't a proper review.

Variation on the theme

In Cuba (at least the part that I'm from), we use fried plantain (make into chips). We do not use carrot, celery or (yuk) cilantro. We used to make it with chicken or beef stock, used onion, bell pepper, garlick, the olive oil and water with the chicken or flank seak. Satl and pepper to taste. I don't like the taste when we've used the raw plantain and boiled them in the soup.

I saw Ingrid make this on her "Comfort Foods" show. It looked easy, sounded like it would taste delicious, and it was. My husband was in love with the soup. This is definitely something I would make again and make for special guests.
