Tips for the Best Callaloo Soup:
- Fenugreek: Don’t be afraid of fenugreek! It adds a unique, slightly nutty flavor that’s essential to authentic Caribbean cuisine. If you can’t find it, a small amount of mustard seed can be a substitute, though the flavor won’t be quite the same.
- Freshness Matters: Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of curry powder to suit your preference. Start with a tablespoon and add more if you like a bolder flavor.
- Creaminess: The heavy cream and bechamel are optional, but they add a lovely richness and smoothness to the soup. Feel free to omit them for a lighter version.
