"Sopita De Frijoles, This has to be one of my all-time fav soups because it’s super quick, easy, and packed with flavor. It’s even better the next day and for those of you asking NO those aren’t bananas they are plantains. They elevate any dish in my opinion and you can use green plantains (for no sweetness) or yellow with black spots (for subtle sweetness) both work for this recipe."
