How to make it
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook the onion with the salt until they start to caramelize, 10 to 15 min. Add the plantains or bananas and cook 10 minutes longer. Stir in the garlic, oregano, thyme, and rosemary and cook until aromatic, about 3 minutes longer. Add the diced tomatoes and their juices and cook 10 min. longer.
- Add the bread chunks and chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the bread has softened and the flavors are well blended, about 45 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowl, then squeeze a wedge of lime into each and toss in the wedge. Serve hot.
