Black Bean Plantain Soup.

Plantains are without a doubt very yummy. But often I struggle with what to do with them when I buy them. This soup was one of those "I really need to use this  *insert food item here* so let's just make some soup out of it" recipes. But hey, the simplest recipes are sometimes the best, am I right?!
