Corn Soup | Trini Carnival Eats 🇹🇹

There's nothing better than a nice hearty corn soup! Trinis will eat soup whether rain falling or sun shining...we love our soup! It's one of the most popular street foods, especially during carnival time. Corn soup is a filling vegetarian one-pot meal, that's great for limes and as an after-fete reviver. It's great as is, or with chicken some salted pigtails, cow heel etc.
