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:
