Jamaican Callaloo (Amaranth) And Bean Soup.

Using Jamaican Callaloo, a wonderful type of spinach, we'll make a delicious and healthy soup with the addition of a medley of beans and other Caribbean flavors. To make this a tasty vegetarian soup all you'll have to do is replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock.
You'll Need...
3 cups Chicken Broth
1 can Bean Medley
1 large onion diced
1 potato
5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
8 cups Jamaican callaloo
1/4 cup parsley leaves with stems
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 scotch bonnet pepper.
1 diced sweet potato
2 scallion
1 tablespoon thyme
Notes. use veg stock for the veg version of this recipe. if you don't have coconut oil, use extra virgin olive oil

[@Elle9228000]

Hi what part of Jamaica make this soup, I have never heard of it in the 20 plus years I lived in Jamaica. Plus never seen red Callaloo in Jamaica,I would like to know where they make soup this in Jamaica, I would love to buy that red Callaloo

[@ronkodak5488]

Elle Elle yeah am a yardie my father was a ras and alot of this Check the eder rastas And thete it goes

[@Elle9228000]

ron Kodak Is this a kind of pepperpot soup? It looks good just it’s not common to the average Jamaican. I was just curious what part of the island is it most likely to be found. But yes I can see vegetarian Jamaicans making this soup.

[@ronkodak5488]

Yeah older Jamaican people most the rasta eat it if find health food shop but him aint cooking good cause the ras them use coconut and bean's he trini trying to cook our food the wrong way

[@Elle9228000]

ron Kodak Yes coconut milk would make it more Jamaican for real, because most people don’t use chicken stock, thanks😁

[@caribbeanpot]

I typically don't indulge idiots, however. where did I say it was a Jamaican dish? The word Jamaican was used to describe the bush (greens).. which happens to be Amaranthus, collectively known as amaranth, is a cosmopolitan genus of annual or short-lived perennial plants. Some amaranth species are cultivated as leaf vegetables, pseudocereals, and ornamental plants. Most of the Amaranthus species are summer annual weeds and are commonly referred to as pigweed.Catkin-like cymes of densely packed flowers grow in summer or autumn.Approximately 60 species are recognized, with inflorescences and foliage ranging from purple, through red and green to gold. Members of this genus share many characteristics and uses with members of the closely related genus Celosia. "Amaranth" derives from Greek ἀμάραντος (amárantos), "unfading", with the Greek word for "flower", ἄνθος (ánthos), factoring into the word's development as amaranth. Amarant is an archaic variant. You've been schooled. say thanks and show some respect for my heritage.

[@crackbaby4]

yo chris if you could make a vid for cooking iguana

[@beaniebrotha]

You can get the red wild spinach from most Indian / Bangladeshi grocery stores in the UK

[@MrYouBeReal]

I live in England and you can get coconut oil.

[@aoiaaon]

Your title included amaranth but your recipe didn't have it?

[@caribbeanpot]

[@aoiaaon]

caribbeanpot thanks for clarifying. I only thought about the amaranth grain but didn't know about the amaranth leaves.

[@Jazzysoulstrist]

I actually made this dish tonight using kale greens & my own signature spices being that I myself is a chef and all I can say is WICKED.

[@deb3834]

If the Queen of England, etc. has a no starch rule how is it she's eating callaloo soup. Seems the sweet potato atleast is a requirement for this soup.

[@pinkduvetdiva]

You can get coconut oil from Amazon.

[@cartouchator]

pop them in the freezer, takes 10 minutes to unfreeze when you need it, and loses very little flavour :)

[@makerKID5]

Pepperpot, where's the fungee? lol

[@eateastIndian]

maybe some type of squash!

[@ChilliBibi001]

I would not advise anyone to consume KTC Coconut Oil. You can use it on your skin or hair though!

[@spadesiscool]

[@davidshurr5398]
