Bring a little taste of the Caribbean into your home with this simple black beans soup with shredded plantains. Aside from the plantains, all of the ingredients in this soup are simple and common foods, and, of course, they're all vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free. Use a homemade gluten-free vegetable broth to make this soup gluten-free as well. Serve with plenty of hot sauce! A great soup to your vegetarian Kwanzaa feast menu.
