    I absolutely love soups! I have already shared many soup recipes on my site, and there are a lot more to come! The thing I love about soups, like this one, are how easy they are to make and how quickly they come together. I've had this Crema de Plátano Verde recipe waiting to be posted for months, probably since November and I am excited to share it with you.

    This Creamy Plantain Soup is very simple to make and absolutely delicious. Make it for dinner or fix a batch ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for an easy lunch to-go!

    As I've mentioned many times, we Colombians love soups any time of the year. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, we eat soup all year round, rain or shine, and hot or cold outside. But nothing is quite like a hot bowl of soup during the winter months.

    You could also add chicken or crispy bacon to this soup, but I swear it doesn't need it.

    Buen provecho!

      Question: the 3x green plantains...am I to get the still green & raw ones, or green but ripe? Reason for asking is because unripe plantains tends to be very tart. Thanks in advance.
