Hi Soup lovers! In January 2008 I had the honor of visiting Trinidad and Tobago, it is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. My husband’s side of the family still resides there and we had the opportunity to go see his grandfather. I simply fell in love with the beautiful mountains and beaches. Also, the food is highly influenced by Asian Indians in the country. I truly didn’t know the Caribbean has any Indians but Africans only. oh Boy! I was pleasantly surprised. I love how they prepare their soups with so many vegetables like corn, pumpkin, and sweet potato, etc. Below is a pic of us enjoying the beautiful Maraco beach in Trinidad. A trip I will always be thankful for. This is my simple version of their corn chicken noodle soup, they would prefer hot pepper sauce in it but I left it out, do try it (with or without) It takes so good and is healthy for you.
