This time not a Surinamese recipe, but one I cooked already in the
Netherlands and during the time living in Surinam I quit the cheese
and french bread aand added fresh hot red pepper. The original recipe
is from the French farm kitchen.
As in this country from time to time onions and patatoes are scarely,
cooking this soup gives a luxury meal!
