Callaloo Soup

Today's soup recipe is a Caribbean soup, the main ingredient of which is Callaloo.  You might have a bit of a problem getting hold of this, so spinach is a pretty good substitute.  Okra is pretty easy to come by these days in most supermarkets, so that shouldn't be a problem.

However, in making this soup, I did discover one thing - some versions of it use salt beef, which I always assumed was corned beef, like the stuff that comes out of tins made by Fray Bentos.  I have since found out that salt beef (and by this I mean what Americans refer to as corned beef) is completely different stuff, and much, much nicer!

Also, you could substitute cooked bacon for the salt beef, and some people also add coconut milk to this soup.  Have a play around and see what works for you!
