Step 1
Peel and slice 2 ripe plantains into 1-inch chunks. Dice 1 small onion and mince 2 garlic cloves.
Step 2
In a pot, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium. Add the onion and garlic, cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the plantains and 4 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer until plantains are tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Blend the soup until smooth (use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches). Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Serve hot, topped with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and crispy fried plantain chips (optional).
