Sopa de Guineo

Step by stepInstructions

1. Peel the green bananas: score each one lengthwise and pull the skin off in strips (it helps to wet your hands first).
2. Cut the bananas into thick rounds.
3. Heat the oil in a pot and cook the onion, scallions, and garlic for 4 minutes.
4. Add the banana rounds, the water or broth, and the cilantro bundle; simmer for 25 minutes, until the bananas are tender but still hold their shape.
5. Stir in the milk (if using) and salt, and simmer 5 minutes more.
6. Remove the cilantro, ladle into bowls, and serve hot with rice or fried fish.
