Belizean Conch/konks Soup

[@tabrewster2063]

I just adore you and Jo. Thanks for the recipie, I'll have to give this recipe a try.

[@Jadagyal]

Looks delish. It looks similar to a conch soup we make in Antigua called "conch water" we just minus the provisions. I will be giving this version a try. Thanks for sharing

Thanks a lot for the uplifting words. Thanks for voting for me too. I really love doing the show because I remember when I couldn't cook anything at all and now that I know, I like to show others how to do it. Can you believe even my boys are watching the videos to make their dad and me dinner when we've had a long day at work? I guess this show will be my legacy to them. :)

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Lol...I got the shirt made at the local fair. Funny about the amount of conch you'll use too. I know people who make conch fritters and use the water used to boiling the conch than putting the real conch. Thanks for commenting.

Hi milu832, Welcome to the site. I've been dying to do split peas. I'll have to that one next. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@kozmoemerino1262]

amy jay there is a store on Crenshaw one block passing Rosecrans called DAT MOY it's very expensive it's like $80 for5lbs I just brought some from Chicago for 6lbs for $55 dollars. So here in LA is so expensive Also u can get it in Chinatown.

[@asdeducator7220]

Thank you! But I'm currently in Belize so I'm planning to take some back with me 😃

[@spider-man6159]

Here is a number u can call for , it's only 55 dollars for 5 lbs. better than 80 dollars ,323-556-4273

[@Nogames2281]

Yes the browning of flour is essential.. my husband Slivak n im polish we make saur kraut or green bean hamsoup n the main delicious flavor is flour n shortning. .we do add criscoat a point n make it color of peanut butter... but the flavor omg is sooooo amazing.. i also cook alot of Puerto Rican food...strange combo but igrew up with my pr abuelas teaching me in kitchen ... im so excited to try your recipes ... im a new subscriber and bern watching your videos back to back. Tfs ...

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Hi BelizeanBeauty.. When you say LA do you mean Los Angeles or Louisina? If it is L.A. California, I got mine at Dot Moi. I'll have to look up that address for you because my dad sent me there from his store and now I don't remember where. :)

[@Imthebrownunicorn]

I believe this is Sopa de caracol to us. I remember seeing it on menus in restaurants but I've never tried it

[@TheJVelez]

Very interesting! I didn't know how the soup got started. I see that you patiently browned the flour in the beginning. Got it! Great video.

[@milu832]

New to ur channel but loving it already!!! Am not much of a cook so this channel will help me so much. Would you please post a video of split peas soup??? Thanks

[@dorothyvalidus7912]

Hi. I hope this isn't too personal but I just wondered how long you lived in Belize and in what part(s)? I am asking because we are planning to relocate there and are particularly interested in the PG area. Are there different "favorites" (if you will) according to districts? Could you possibly elaborate if so? Also, what are some of the most expensive meats there? Are there many? I know seafood is big but I don't see a lot about chicken, pork, rabbit, etc. What about goats or cows? Is there a reason for this? I love watching your videos (although I absolutely cannot stand coconut! Blech!) I suppose I'm gonna have to get used to it, huh?

[@TheBarePantryShow]

+Dorothy Validus Hi Dorothy I was born in Belize and raised there for the first 15 years of my life. I've lived in America for over 30 years so I'm the wrong person to answer most of your questions. I was raised in Kings Park in the city and didn't visit any districts until my last visit in 2013. Good luck with your move and perhaps another viewer can better enlighten you.

[@fionaroberts9590]

Can I add stuff to the soup? Like corn I love corn...

[@katherinedanielle]

Is there anything I can substitute the okra with?

[@tjhiggs1740]

Carrot potato

[@twinkitten1]

do you eat sea eggs/urchins,melts and fish row/eggs in belize too? and if you do is there a recipe for each?

[@brendaysaguirre1891]

OMG! Wish I could have some right now!

[@destinyrose6165]

How would I make that over here in San Antonio? I have friends and been trying go get the ingredients for that soup but how can i get konks? I don't even know where to find them

[@angelalmendarez7227]

Just did a counch soup, thanks for posting and it was very helpfull love it.

[@juliahamilton9125]

Excellent! The Big and Bad Bahamas doesn't have this video or any video demonstrating how to make STEW CONCH. Enemy Haiti has a video!🌏

[@lanadiaz9365]

Julia, you got me lmao. were right across from Belize, Here on Roatan Island we do our conch soup a whole differ style. I yet still find it interesting how different Caribbean Islands do same dish in different way.

[@edroyh]

we brown the flour longer

[@bigtaxrefund]

you dont like it too spicy because you dont enjoy it?? wha? man im trini and i love hot pepper in everything. your soup looks so tasty!! ive got to try that one out for sure.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

Yeah bigtaxrefund. I'm a wimp when it comes to hot spice. I can eat a little hot, I mean I eat the Marie Sharps Fiery Hot Sauce, but only a little. My kids and Joe are another story, I don't know they don't need ice cream to use the bathroom..lol

[@bigtaxrefund]

im roger. my wife and i are looking forward to a trip to belize soon. i done some research to find out its a tax haven..cant wait to try the soup myself..yum yum!! im in toronto, canada

[@yupster123]

+bigtaxrefund what do u mean by tax haven? I am from Toronto as well.

[@bigtaxrefund]

U can hide your $$ from gov't thieves

[@krisg4515]

bigtaxrefund im a trini as well and i can't really tolerate spicy foods

[@livingwater1054]

why not use oil to brown the roux?

[@yvettegideon7524]

I'm sorry to ask but why didn't u clean the conch. I'm a Belizean and I have never ever seen any member of my family or friends including me made conch soup and didn't clean the conch this is the first just asking

[@michaelwelch4637]

Yvette Gideon I agree with you I learned how to make this from my mom and she always clean the conch first

[@Imthebrownunicorn]

How do we know she didn’t clean them before recording?

[@grizziegirl]

Do you have to use okra?

[@TheBarePantryShow]

You can omit it if you'd like.

[@streetball8]

WATA NEGI conx soup!!!

[@Jd5mossedu]

U didn’t clean the conch u Representing Belize but u did even take the skin off the conch 👀🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@juliasmith8752]

Was thinking the same thing we don't leave that black skin on.

[@tareqandres3588]

Atleast somebdy said it

[@4wateva]

Ha! i'll probably use the same amount like u 2 feed my guest lol

[@chrisanncharles3022]

... but you still did not apologize😊

[@octaviapinnace9692]

Weird were is the coconut milk?

[@TheBarePantryShow]

The coconut milk is not necessary, but you can put it if you choose. I usually put in in crab soup.

[@edroyh]

we call it stew conch in the bahamas.

[@lanadiaz9365]

Im from another Island (Roatan) and here we do stew conch a total different way. what she made would be conch soup/ stew conch is done a different way .

[@rosahwilliams451]

Mom you don't put any season in that pot.

[@4wateva]

Kool shirt! ;-)

[@flightcruiser1]

that flour too white...in the Bahamas we know how to brown the flour...give more taste
