    What are Moneditas de Plátano?

    They are thinly sliced fried green plantain chips. You can buy them in bags at your local Latin market or make them at home, just follow my plantain chips recipe. This soup is made with beef, but you can use chicken if you prefer. The plantain chips chips are added at the end to thicken the soup base and give it a comforting and satisfying feeling with the perfect crunch.

    This soup is loaded with flavorful beef, potatoes and seasoned with scallions, onions, garlic, cumin, and achiote. Top with crispy green plantain chips and fresh cilantro. You will want to make this soup often!

    I like to serve my Sopa de Moneditas de Plátano (Plantain Chips Soup) fresh cilantro and avocado.

    Ingredients
     

    • 10 cups beef broth
    • 3 scallions, chopped
    • ½ cup white onion, chopped
    • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    • 2 pounds beef cut into small pieces
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
    • ½ teaspoon color or achiote
    • 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
    • 2 cups green plantain chips
    • Chopped cilantro to garnish

    Instructions
     

    • Place the water into a large pot, add the scallions, white onion, garlic, and beef. Season with cumin, color, salt and pepper to taste. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 30 minutes.
    • Uncover and add the potatoes and cook for another 25 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Add the plantain chips and cilantro. Serve immediately.

    Notes

    *I like to use beef chuck to make this soup, but you can use your favorite beef for stews or soups. You can replace the beef with chicken or turkey.
    *You can make this soup up to 3 days ahead and keep in the fridge in a container, just be sure to add the plantain chips before serving. So you don’t end up with soggy chips.
    *I love making my own plantain chips for this recipe, but you can use store-bought  if you prefer. Here is my plátanitos recipe to make them:

          Las recetas deberían bilingües, no todas las personas hablamos inglés, o este sitio web es solo para personas que dominan el inglés
