How to make colicero soup:

1. The first step to make our colicero soup recipe is to pre-list the ingredients.
2. Take a deep pot over medium heat with a little sunflower oil, fry the long onion and the tomato to make a base sauce. Add salt, black pepper and garlic to taste.
3. Add the beef stock, the potatoes in small squares, the peas and the colicero or banana in small squares. Let the soup cook over medium heat until you see that the potatoes and banana are well cooked, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
