Beef rib soup

Description

A hearty first course. Soup made with beef ribs is nutritious food; the main thing is to cook the meat thoroughly so it becomes tender. To enhance the soup's flavor, you can add bouillon cubes. Plantain is a vegetable banana; it can be substituted with a regular green banana, but add it at the end of cooking so it doesn't overcook. Instead of bread, boiled rice is served with this soup. Watch and remember.
