I made a Jamaican Jerk banana soup more than 3 years ago and loved it, so I'm not sure why it took me so long to experiment with another one.

Changes: replaced red chile pepper with a jalapeno; replaced canola oil with chili EVO; replaced whipped cream with coconut milk; added cilantro as garnish; added a few dashes of cayenne pepper to make it even spicier.
Note: If I make it again, I'll likely skip the sugar. The banana is sweet enough if you ask me. Today I made my leftovers even spicier with some Senor Pelon's Limanero Hot Sauce.
