Ital Soup/Stew with Herbs and Scotch Bonnet 🌱

Aww, thank you 😊 I really love this, I’ve been meaning to upload it for my cookbook for ages!

Interesting take on this, but it's not authentic. Trust me, no Jamaican would eat your soup. Never. Watch a real Jamaican cook soup on YouTube or similar forum, then you'll understand.
Sorry, got to be honest.

Ha, I was taught by a Jamaican, we used to make it at university and I’ve just stuck with his way. It’s the scotch bonnet herb combo that I love! Definitely don’t claim it’s authentic in any way though, it’s just something I like to eat. Can you recommend any tips or a good YouTube? Thanks 😊

I’ve taken your advice and watched a couple of videos, but I haven’t spotted anything I would change yet. Really open to your suggestions though, which I will try next time. I love this soup and it’s one of the recipes that I would love to make even better. There are very few of my recipes that I feel have hit ‘perfection’ (yet 😂)! It’s worth noting that I use my Cookpad account for myself, to keep a little record of my favourite recipes that I like to cook (and eat) at home. I like trying new things in the kitchen snd I’m always ready to learn. I’m not a chef or an expert, I love ingredients and being creative and just enjoy cooking 😊

Hi Rachel,
Glad you took my comment in the vane it was intended.
The main thing is you gave it a go. 😊

You need to cut your veg up a little smaller and cook until they break up a little. Your soup looks rather like a miso or a consume.
Also a soup mix such as pumpkin or 🐓 soup, (readily found in authentic stores or major supermarkets down the world food aisles) is always a welcome addition. Not to mention creamed coconut or coconut milk to give it a lovely creamy satisfying backdrop... No two hands cook alike, but a soup with body is a must....not a miso...

All very fair comments and appreciated! I did leave the veg chunkier than usual and I used seasonal veggies rather than traditional - I was taking part in a seasonal veg project. I don’t like coconut milk much, so over time I’ve swapped to using lentils for the body, but I’m sure others prefer it. I know the soup mix you mean, I haven’t used since I’ve been vegan, but I do try add in similar flavours. The next time I make it I will try and give a bit more oomph!😉
Good tips 🙏 Are you going to put up and vegan recipes? Look forward to exchanging ideas and getting some more tips (if you don’t mind). 😋
