Banana and plantain soup?
Share!

[Solstis]

If I happened to have all of those ingredients/time, I would definitely try it.

But what is a college student going to do with all the leftover stuff?

Will do Navinator http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif. I will even throw in my favorite soup recipe http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif.

Sancocho (Vegetable soup Puerto Rican style and my personal favorite http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif !!)
INGREDIENTS:

2 pounds short ribs of beef

1/4 pound smoked ham, diced

4 quarts chicken stock or water

1/2 cup basic Recaito (Sorry, I don't know the name of the herb in English http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif )

1 cup tomato sauce

1 pound of pumpkin peeled and diced in 1-inch cubes

1 pound of yautia (taro root) peeled and diced in 1-inch cubes

1 pound of yam peeled and diced in 1-inch cubes

1 pound of cassava peeled and diced in 1-inch cubes

2 medium green plantains, peeled and cut in 2-inch pieces

3 ears fresh corn, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 quart water

METHOD:

1) In a big soup pot, combine the first 9 ingredients. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

2) Add the remaining ingredients and bring to another boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked. Adjust the seasonings to taste and you are done http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif. Yields 10 to 12 servings.

--------------------------------------------------

Plantain soup (My staple food when cash runs low http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif )

INGREDIENTS:

1 large green plantain, peeled and shredded through the next-to-finest side of the grater

10 cups chicken stock

1/2 tablespoon salt

1/2 tablespoon black pepper

1 cup bok choy leaves cut in very thin strips

METHOD:

1) Form dumplings from 1/2 tablespoonfuls of shredded plantain and set aside. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Add the salt, pepper, and dumplings. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes. Add the bok choy and cook for another 5 minutes. Yields 6 to 8 servings.

You can also add three green bananas,peeled and shredded through the next-to-finest side of the grater, form them into dumplings and add these at the same time as the green plantains.

I hope you enjoy the recipes Navinator http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif !!

[Subliminalgroove]

Thanks for the recipes, I'll have to give the plantain one a go... http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[navci]

Thanks!
There are quite a few things I don't think I have, though. We'll see what I can do about it. Thanks!

I been hunting for ginger, and for some reason I can't find them anywhere? I wonder what would that do to the soup.

Maybe you could use Ginger spice to replace the actual Ginger ? Hope that helps a bit http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Subliminalgroove]

That's odd that you can't find ginger root anywhere...

I can find it at normal redneck-iowa-grocery stores...

I dug mine out off my garden http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif. Got plenty of ginger plants around my house http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif.

I tried to make it. But it's hard, they don't have some things here, they use different terms here than the english ounces, and I didn't like ginger or cocos. -.-;

And I screwed up some things in as well as the proportions of everything, as the time.

So in the end I guess it only would have tasted vaguely similar to the original recipe.

Tasted good nonetheless! ^ ^;

Thank yoouu. >Subby

[navci]

I added a box of tofu in it since I think it is Asian enough to stick that in.

Is good. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Nice pictures Tycho http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif.

Tofu http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif ? Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't tofu some kind of seaweed blend ? Please pardon my ignorance http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif.

Many thanks Aredhel for the very informative link http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif !! If tofu taste like potatoes maybe I should give it a try the next time I make a soup http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif.

P.S. Tofu is not expensive, right ? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Tofu isn't expensive in where I am. And it doesn't taste like potato. Actually it doesn't taste anything at all. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

OMG PSO

PSO + subbys soup = a fun time ^_^

[Aredhel]

Yea - tofu is relatively inexpenisve, especially considering how nourishing it is. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

It really, truly doesn't taste like a whole lot - but that's OK because you have access to a stove, right? Good, thought so...


Butter Fried Tofu Teriyaki
from "The Book of Tofu"
Serves 4



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 oz firm tofu cut into cubes
1/3 cup Teriyaki Sauce
1 and 1/2 tablespoons butter

Place sauce and tofu in a shallow pan. Marinate for 1 hour, turning tofu after 30 minutes. Melt the butter in a skillet. Add tofu and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Serve any remaining marinade as a dipping sauce.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Remarakably simple and very tasty. A little prep time, but it's worth it especially when it's served with some sort of beef or shrimp.

If you're looking for something extremely quick and easy, you could always just have raw tofu doused with lots and lots of soy sauce. Soy sauce is just one of those things that makes everything taste good http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Evil_Althena8]

tofu tastes like solid nothing. It absorbs flavor from whatever you cook it in, so it will taste like the rest of the dish.

Yea - it's truly a gift from the Goddess, isn't it?

[Lone_Wolf_Nasca]

Hmm, Butter Fried Tofu Teriyaki, sounds good enough for me http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif, I will definetly go tomorrow to buy some Tofu along with the rest of the stuff in my Grocery list http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif.

P.S. Im really starting to like this thread http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif !! Lots of new ideas to improve my recipe list http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif.

[navci]

That Tofu receipe sounds good! I need to try it relatively soon-ish. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

If you have anything else that is awesome and rather simple, do share. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif I am always looking for food ideas.

[Lone_Wolf_Nasca]

Hmm, I have a question http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif !! I bought the tofu for the recipe Aredhel provided (12 oz. extra firm) I paid $3.69 for the tofu, considering that, I want to know if I paid too much for the tofu or did I got it at a good price ? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

P.S. First time buyer http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Hm... I have no idea.

But remember to use Soft Tofu for soups! Don't want none of that firm stuff floating in there... ew....

[Aredhel]

$3.69 sounds about right - or atleast, that's about how much they sell it for at the stores down here... I rarely look at the exact price for foods anymore - I see that it's about $4 and I put it in my basket, not much more than that http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Lone_Wolf_Nasca]

I tried Aredhel's tofu recipe, It was the first time I ate tofu, to be quite honest the recipe left me desiring a little more punch in it. Don't get me wrong, it tasted pretty good http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif but I found the flavor to be quite bland for my tastebuds http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif. Bring in the spices I say http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif !!

As for the flavor of tofu, it tastes like egg whites http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif.
