Bananas are a very healthy and nutritious food. They are rich in potassium, which is essential for heart health, as well as pectin and fiber, which aid digestion. In our country, bananas are usually eaten raw. But in the Caribbean countries, bananas are used to prepare dough for baking, fry them and even cook soup from them. We invite you to feel like a little islander and cook soup according to a traditional Cuban recipe.
Do not worry, despite the presence of bananas in the recipe, the taste of the soup will not be too exotic and will appeal to the whole family, and especially lovers of kharcho soup. If you plan to offer it to children, you will have to reduce the amount of spices, but the original combination of banana and chicken will still give this dish a pleasant and unforgettable taste.
