SAVORY CREAM OF GREEN BANANA SOUP!

simple ingredients.

So, this is a very popular soup in the small cities and in the interior of Brazil, because bananas are a national fruit, and they're very inexpensive and very versatile! :) So, I advise you to use green bananas, not ripe ones because the soup will taste sweet if the bananas are ripe. If you have any doubts about it, cut it a piece of the banana you intend to use for the soup, cook it in water and salt and try to see if its sweet or not. Hope you like this soup, cuz I'm addicted to it ;)

Enough chitchat! Here is the recipe!
