-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion -- diced
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 ripe plaintains or bananas peeled -- 1/4" slices
5 cloves garlic -- minced
1 bunch oregano or 1/2 Tablespoon dried
1/2 bunch thyme, or 1/2 Tablespoon dried
sprig rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried
1 1/2 cups canned tomatoes -- diced with juice
1/3 loaf baguette cut into 1/2"cubes
2 limes, cut into quarters, for garnish

Heat the olive oil or butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook
the onions with the salt until they start to caramelize,
10 to 15 minutes. Add the plantains or bananas and cook 10 minutes longer.
Stir in the garlic, oregano, thyme, and rosemary and
cook just until aromatic, about 3 minutes longer.

Add the tomatoes, bread chunks and chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a
boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently,
until the bread has softened and the flavors are well blended, about 45
minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls, then squeeze a wedge
of lime into each and toss in the wedge. Serve hot.
