Banana soup is one of the most popular traditional dishes, enjoyed during the cold winter months in warm conditions. Making soup dishes like this is the choice of many people. Actually, banana soup is identical to a soupy dish cooked with palm sugar and spices. However, there are a few things to note, banana soup that is made in this way is usually only good with certain banana ingredients. Usually, local people like us prepare it with kepok bananas. These bananas tend to have a slightly sweet and acidic flavor, and their shape is denser, making them very tasty to make into soup.

While palm sugar banana soup has a flavor similar to that of a beverage, in our hinterland, we don't consider it a beverage. We usually enjoy this as an appetizer or dessert to warm up the body on a tired day. Well while I made this dish to settle my stomach, because of the nausea. Bananas as we know can relieve a little diarrhea, but I do not have bananas that can be enjoyed directly. I had pisang kepok bananas available, so my mom suggested that I process these bananas into palm sugar soup, which I will enjoy very much later.
