Introduction
This is a good, year-round soup/dish that can be served by itself as a complete meal, with or without meat, served with our without rice.Very healthy and warming for the cold winter months. Just add more banana peppers or even jalapeno peppers according to your taste.
I specified chicken for this recipe , but you can substitute the chicken with pork (butt part is best, just trim the fat off), beef stew meat, even shrimp or fish ( salmon or milkfish preferred ).
I've used a variety of vegetables with this dish, such as asparagus, broccoli, spinach, whole mushrooms, cut up eggplants, different color bell peppers, lima beans, whole young okra, mustard greens, collard greens, radish, zuccini and yellow squash.
The amount of meat and vegetables depends on how much you want to put in. Add more lemon to make it more sour. This is a good, year-round soup/dish that can be served by itself as a complete meal, with or without meat, served with our without rice.
