Cream of plantain is the perfect recipe to endure the cold winter temperatures. There’s nothing better than preparing a nice soup to warm our bodies. The best part of this recipe is that you can vary it by combining other ingredients you like. This time, I combined green and ripe plantains with a bit of ground ginger and the result was incredibly delicious.

Ingredients

2 green plantains cut into small pieces
1/2 ripe plantain cut into small pieces
1/4 teaspoon of fresh ginger
6-8 cups of chicken broth
3 garlic cloves
1 small onion
1/2 teaspoon of seasoning with achiote
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 cup evaporated milk (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1

Put all of the ingredients into a medium pot.
2

Cook over medium-low heat until the plantain is cooked thoroughly; stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
3

Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender or a food processor, blend the mixture. If you use a blender, split the mixture into two batches.
4

Serve immediately.

You can use 2 cubes of chicken bouillon in 6-8 cups of water instead of chicken broth.
You can omit the ripe plantain and use only the green plantain.
