I got this delicious recipe from a friend and we absolutely love it. Peel and slice the plantains. Drain the corn, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnishing. Heat the butter in a pan and fry the onions, adding the garlic. Add the bananas, corn and diced tomatoes to the onions and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the deseeded and chopped chili pepper and pour in the broth. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and tarragon. Bring to a boil briefly. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve sprinkled with the remaining corn. Flatbread goes very well with this.
