🇻🇨Vincy Style Callallo Soup

Remember to cook your callallo to the consistency you like. whether you like it thin, smooth, thick, rich, etc.
Recipe
Two bundles of callaloo
Three slices of cooked pumpkin and 4 cooked okras blended with some of the callaloo
8 1/2 cups water total including the blended water
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
Precooked pig tail
Precooked cow foot - seasoned with, a dash of salt, green seasoning, 1 medium onion, 4 chopped gloves of garlic, 4 bell peppers, dried thyme, pimento, pepper flakes, paprika, goya all purpose seasoning, and cilantro.
I love to add chive but could not find any.
Two small eddoes
A medium size batata sweet potato
One small yam
Dumpling- 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup cup of grated coconut, pinch of salt, and water to knead.
1 medium size carrots
Additional diced uncooked pumpkin
3 teaspoons of salt
*Add more oil if it is drying out when blancing. Blancing in oil helps to soften the callaloo and break it down faster.
*When your callaloo is close to tender or tender add your other ingredients to the pot and cook callaloo to your consistency.
*Callallo can take 45 minutes to an hour to get tender if not blended. You can always taste the cooked leaves for tenderness.
*You can partially cook your cow foot and pig tails and put it to boil with the calaloo.
*If you are using your callaloo leaves right away feel free to cook it in water and blend if you wish or just cook until it is tender. Also, if you blanch your callaloo you do not have to blend it if you do not want. You can cook it straight like that until it breaks down.
*You can cut up your callaloo and freeze them if you do not want to blanch them as well.
*Mix your callaloo occasionally to prevent STICKING to the pot as it thickens.

[@Mrs.Burke767]

Sooo if I dont have the calalloo leaf what can I use as a substitute ? Great video btw looks yummy

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

I used spinach. I normally boil it for few minutes until it wilt and blend it up in the blender.

[@ceonx1473]

So So delicious. Trying that definitely will like to put 🦃 do I have to pre boil it too? Fresh turkey

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

Hi Angela! If you want to do the turkey callaloo, here is the method. No you do not have to pre cook the turkey. You have to seasoned your fresh turkey. You can look in the discription to see some seasoning I used or use your seasonings you prefer. If you want to blend all your callaloo you can do that. You can put your seasoned turkey wings to boil with the callaloo, because you know turkey wings take a good time to cook as well. The Turkey wings should take about 45 minutes to an hour, the same time as the calaloo leaves. After this put in your ground provision and dumplings and boil down to your consistency. I hope this helps, feel free to ask further questions.

[@allthingscathy3446]

Sam this is what im talking about! Mmmmm delicious 😋😋😋😋 how are you live so i can come and get some food 😀😀😀😀

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

Tell me about it lol! Thank you!

[@user-xy3vu9sr3w]

Suggesting that the cook should have washed the leaves before chopping to save the nutrients.

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

Yes, they were washed before.

[@hillieduvalier]

Striping calloloo is to time consuming. Nobody does that in Vincy anymore. Not saying you are wrong ,but things just change for the most part Just wash, chop, go nowadays.. this soup looks so delicious.

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

To be honest the ones I cooked I didn't strip them that is granny style lol. She even got us picking the tip of the callaloo leaves. Lol!

[@hillieduvalier]

@@samsgiftedhands3998 , Lol.✊🏿🙏🏾

[@ceonx1473]

Do you was the turkey scald it then season

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

No you do not have to scald the turkey. Cook it with the callaloo. Around 45 minutes to an hour you can take your knife or your hands to check for tenderness of your turkey. Then put in your provision, vegetables, etc.
