Plantain Soup
Plantain Soup Recipe - Plantain looks like a large banana but tastes more like a starchy potato.
This can absorb other flavours very easily, also excellent for chunky chips. Good source of vitamin A and potassium.

- Check seasoning and simmer for another 5 minutes until potatoes are soft when pricked with a fork.

Personally, I do not find it necessary to add vegetable stock to make any soup or casserole. No need to add vegetable flavour to vegetables! You can use the natural flavours already in the soup, the reward is a fresh and tasty soup!
Garlic and sage will add lots of kick, to balance the sweet plantain and help reduce the amount of sea salt required to season.
