callaloo soup

Grenada · Latin America

Short description: This green soup-stew blends leafy greens into a silky bowl with coconut, okra, and savory seafood or meat.
Ingredients: Leafy greens or dasheen leaves with okra, coconut milk, crab or salted meat, aromatics, thyme, and hot pepper.
Cultural note: Across the Caribbean, the same name can refer to the leafy vegetable, the cooked soup, or a related stew, so recipes vary widely.
Common misconception: It is not one standardized recipe; the leaf, thickness, and seafood or meat additions change by island and household.
