Step 1
Peel plantains, cut into 1-inch rounds, then halve each round. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pot over medium-high.
Step 2
Add onion and celery. Sauté 4 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add plantains and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 12 minutes until plantains are fork-tender.
Step 4
Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth and creamy (or carefully transfer in batches to a standard blender).
Step 5
Stir in cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 2 more minutes.
Step 6
Ladle into bowls. Top with cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve hot.
