This green plantain chips soup is comforting, satisfying and full of flavor. If you’re looking for an easy hearty soup recipe, this sopa de moneditas de plátano will be your new favorite!

What are Moneditas de Plátano?

They are thinly sliced fried green plantain chips. You can buy them in bags at your local Latin market or make them at home, just follow my plantain chips recipe. This soup is made with beef, but you can use chicken if you prefer. The plantain chips chips are added at the end to thicken the soup base and give it a comforting and satisfying feeling with the perfect crunch.

This soup is loaded with flavorful beef, potatoes and seasoned with scallions, onions, garlic, cumin, and achiote. Top with crispy green plantain chips and fresh cilantro. You will want to make this soup often!

I like to serve my Sopa de Moneditas de Plátano (Plantain Chips Soup) fresh cilantro and avocado.

Notes

*I like to use beef chuck to make this soup, but you can use your favorite beef for stews or soups. You can replace the beef with chicken or turkey.

*You can make this soup up to 3 days ahead and keep in the fridge in a container, just be sure to add the plantain chips before serving. So you don’t end up with soggy chips.

*I love making my own plantain chips for this recipe, but you can use store-bought if you prefer. Here is my plátanitos recipe to make them:
