thanks peconic. I did that before I posted, but I also like to get recipes from our TTOL friends who have prepared such dishes themselves.

3 bundles callaloo (or 3 bunches fresh spinach), washed, tough ribs removed, coarsely chopped 4 cups coconut milk 2 cups milk 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 medium onions, chopped 1 bunch scallions, chopped 1 SB chopped (any hot pepper will do) ¼ pound pumpkin or Hubbard squash, peeled and coarsely chopped ¼ pound butter or margarine salt and pepper to taste
Method: In a stockpot or soup pot, combine all the ingredients and boil for 4 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer for 40 minutes. If too thick, add more coconut milk. Remove from the heat, cool, and puree in a blender in small batches. Reheat the soup and serve.

NP... I have never had callaloo before myself, so I don't have any recipes of my own... OH Boy, something else to look for in the store now!

What's SB? I've made Calalloo soup many times. Never used coconut milk or scallion. I was taught by ladies in Bequia at the Frangipani. They made the best cream of calalloo soup! Used to buy it at Grande Marche on Bush Rd. Hard to get fresh. Maybe Bushman has some, I don't know. The canned stuff isn't very good. Pepperpot from JA is made with calalloo. Cheers irina

I buy my Callaloo at the Rasta Farm here. The first time, I asked how to prepare it and the lovely lady told me how to make soup. I came home and googled it and this is almost exactly what she said. Since they are vegetarians, there was no meat in her recipe, but the addition of the crab meat makes it very special! I also get my okra at the Rasta Farm! We love this soup and I make it every time fresh callaloo is available.
40 min | 10 min prep SERVES 4
1 bunch greens, preferably callaloo (fresh chopped spinach, turnip greens, or collards may be substituted) 2 ounces salt pork, chopped 8 ounces coconut milk 5 cups water 1 large onion, finely chopped 3 garlic cloves, minced 8 ounces chopped okra 8 ounces crabmeat 2 garlic cloves 1 scotch bonnet pepper (VERY hot pepper) salt and pepper
1. Place first six ingredients in a large stew pot. 2. Simmer until the salt pork is tender; add the okra and crab meat. 3. Simmer for 5 minutes (or until greens are tender) and season to taste with salt, pepper, and scotch bonnet pepper. 4. Serve while still hot.

Sylvia,
Yours looks really good also! I'll have to give it a try. Love anything with pumpkin squash. I make soup out of that all the time too! Taught by a St Lucian!
The pumpkin squash flowers are starting to bloom here. Soon come fresh pumpkins!

Hi, It's basically the same as your's, without the coconut milk. I distinctly remember it didn't have it cause I don't like coconut mile and I loved that balalloo soup. There was some heat but not sure if it was SB. I used some hot sauce from Belize, Marie's I believe it was called. Haven't made it in years. Got calalloo here in Miami once, 3 years ago from the Haitian market. Lost that connection. Cheers irina
