I just tried this today! Thank you for your inspiration Chris. I used what I had. Base: pumkin puree,potato,sweetPotato Herbs and flavor: thyme ,cilantro ,oregano , sea salt , scallion ,onion ,garlic ,ginger ,coconut Milk Veggies and extras: carrots ,celery ,corn , swissChard ,green Pepper Brown Rice Noodles (cooked) I used a bit of scotch bonnet chili pepper sea salt as well. Came out great!
thank you. it's always funny to see people say you can't do something just because they don't. I guess it's easier to condemn and destruct and to uplift with positive comments and share as a community. Thanks for understanding.
you probably dont care but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Jimmy Layne i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I must admit I've never heard of Ital food before, but this is also excellent for people who must have a salt-free diet for health reasons (heart problems, cortico-steroids medication (prednisone etc) for auto-immune diseases etc. Many thanks indeeds!
yes, there are many different varieties of yams, so too the texture and cooking time. do remember that what's usually called yam in North America is really what we in the Caribbean refer to as being sweet potato.
Chris you have me up 1am making soup and it’s absolutely delicious!!!! Did put a bit of sea salt tho haha Never had a mom who thought me to cook so I’m sooooo thankful for your videos
Hello I would like to know if you could do a video on your Garden. A video that talks about the best seeds to use, where to find them and which foods you suggest to grow in your garden. I love your channel and I always watch your videos but it wasn't until today I just realized I wasn't subscribed. So I subscribed today, ok Thank you Im looking forward to seeing a gardening video. Have a Great Day!!!
I am so glad i found this video because i am going to try this soup.....I heard about ITAL on Taste the Island TV and what the gentleman was cooking look so good....i did not know the meaning of ITAL until i looked it up (NO SALT) this is what i need because i have uncontrolled blood pressure and i should not be eating salt! I will be trying some of the recipes on youtube. Thank you so much....Jazz
Where did you get the seeds to grow your callaloo and scotch bonnet peppers? This soup looks lovely! I feel energized and nourished just looking at it :)
It can be the variety you used as well. There's one I get here in Canada which starts to dissolve after 15 minutes of boiling, where most can take up to 25 minutes and keep it's shape.
That sweet potato will will leach out its sugar & gives the soup the wonderful flavor .. i never added sweet potato b4 but this will give me the alternative to lower my sodium intake .. ' Wicked style dat mi idren !!
Great presentation. I was wondering if there was any vegatarian programs out there. This stands out. Great job. I Hope there is more to come. Great!!!!!!!!!
ital is vital... straight vegetarian jah know. next step for me is vegan.. i rate all of your veggie meals, even cooked up some of your fish meals back in the day when i use2 deal with meat and flesh. I like you man keep up the good positive work. 1love
This looks like a great one to try! Chris, I looked through all your videos but could't find a Caribbean breakfast dish. Could you do a video on something for breakfast?
Chris, yuh missing green figs! Well at least I add them to mine when I make my ital soup. Pimento peppers and carrots too. Also, I put ochroes in the peas-less version of my ital soup. Yum all the same!!! Keep up the good work/recipes and thanks. Btw, ah love yuh Trini accent. Nice dat yuh didn lose it. :D
I live in the UK but i'm of Jamaican descent and I was born there. I never would confuse Yams with Sweet Potatoes, they are very different....yams are more like Cassava than sweet potatoes in my opinion. Thanks for your response. I think I overboiled them.
lolol..yes Chris..the yam is starch like dasheen and if its overboiled it kinda melts away and make the soup or whatever pot very starchy and thick..so don't over cook the yam..:)
Hi there. Sorry but what is I your pan? I am new to caribbean cooking, French married a very fussy St Lucian food lover! I have tried a few of your recipes and got the thumbs up (and more!😉😀). He loves Ital and would love to do this recipe Ford him this weekend but difnt quite get the name of the "peas". Great posts! My 1st port of call for cooking Caribbean food! 👍🏻
Chris i'm in desperate need of help. The topic I want to ask about today is Yams. Can yams overboil and melt and simply disappear in a stew? I peeled, washed and cut up about 25 yams to go in a delicious curry stew. I put them in there to boil. They were of a regular size, not small. When it was done and I was looking to share out the dish I only saw 4 yams in total. I dug into the stew and couldn't find the rest of yams. Do you have any idea what could have happened? did they melt?
Definitely respecting ya channel Ital is Vital!! Str8888... i would love to react to your video to show my viewers real carribbean munchies! Please let me know ...
Green onions, celery, ginger, oregano, thyme, scotch bonnet pepper, garlic, pumpkin, onion, 3 Etos, one sweet potatoe, okra, cilantro or parsley, plantain banana, 2 Yukon gold potatoe, ground pepper, callaloo or spinach, or kale. Dried splitpeas or chickpeas idk?? All the ingredients you guys

@Jimmy Layne It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D

@Jagger Javion You are welcome :)
This is really my FAVORITE soup to make!! thank you so much for dis Uncle Chris! You are the closest thing I've found to my grandma's cooking hand
I must admit I've never heard of Ital food before, but this is also excellent for people who must have a salt-free diet for health reasons (heart
problems, cortico-steroids medication (prednisone etc) for auto-immune diseases etc. Many thanks indeeds!
GREAT !!! I hope to see MORE of Rasta-Veggie-Food (Ital) from you,brother :)
Nuff respect from Germany !!!
I'm Jamaican - Yes Chris, Rasta use salt in Ital cooking. But they only either use Sea Water or Sea Salt.
Real ital food is without salt of any kind.
yes, there are many different varieties of yams, so too the texture and cooking time. do remember that what's usually called yam in North America is really what we in the Caribbean refer to as being sweet potato.
I've mad this soup twice and it is very good. I mix it up a little with different vegetable like butter nut squash and red potatotes.
Chris you have me up 1am making soup and it’s absolutely delicious!!!!
Did put a bit of sea salt tho haha
Never had a mom who thought me to cook so I’m sooooo thankful for your videos
Love your fresh garden. Recipe looks delicious
My bredren just casually say "stamina in yuh back" lolol. What a lad, the greatest.
To live without meat and fish, thats no problem, I do that for 7 years but to live without salt..that will be hard.. :P
+The25Sister you should add miso or shoyu to your meals, it tastes very good with vegetables, and it's really salty
+The25Sister
I thought they can have sea salt just no rock salt
miso and shoyu both are extremely high in salt... it would essentially be the same thing
Try celery salt. You can make yourself if you dehydrate celery and then just grate it.
The25Sister same here what even pink Himalayan salt ?!? I never thought they can’t have salt!? Please guys why???
love love love your garden!!!!!!!!! bless up!!!!!!
This soup looks absolutely delicious! I have to give this a try! Thank you for the detailed instruction.

good job chris
You should freeze this and market it. New York is full of vegans and you would make a lot of money. This looks amazing.
Great presentation. I was wondering if there was any vegatarian programs out there. This stands out. Great job. I Hope there is more to come. Great!!!!!!!!!
I grew up using cilantro. We Puerto Ricans call it Recao.
D Santiago im sure that's a typo. and yes it's labeled recao/ culantro at nyc supermarkets
Yes culantro is what I meant to write
Although Cilantro smells and tastes similar. Love me some Recao though
Looks great Chris. I'm vegetarian so I would love it if you could post more Ital recipes.

I live in the UK but i'm of Jamaican descent and I was born there. I never would confuse Yams with Sweet Potatoes, they are very different....yams are more like Cassava than sweet potatoes in my opinion. Thanks for your response. I think I overboiled them.

Hi there. Sorry but what is I your pan? I am new to caribbean cooking, French married a very fussy St Lucian food lover! I have tried a few of your recipes and got the thumbs up (and more!😉😀). He loves Ital and would love to do this recipe Ford him this weekend but difnt quite get the name of the "peas".
Great posts! My 1st port of call for cooking Caribbean food! 👍🏻
Hi! Where can I get the recipe the readable version?
Looks delicious please can someone give the ingredients thanks God bless you
Chris i'm in desperate need of help. The topic I want to ask about today is Yams. Can yams overboil and melt and simply disappear in a stew? I peeled, washed and cut up about 25 yams to go in a delicious curry stew. I put them in there to boil. They were of a regular size, not small. When it was done and I was looking to share out the dish I only saw 4 yams in total.
I dug into the stew and couldn't find the rest of yams. Do you have any idea what could have happened? did they melt?
Yum!
How did you cut up those pumpkins teach me please
Nice ital stew man! But just to say Rasta use sea salt for sure. Body needs salt to survive. Peace and love.
Definitely respecting ya channel Ital is Vital!! Str8888... i would love to react to your video to show my viewers real carribbean munchies! Please let me know ...
What peas were those you were stuing
Green onions, celery, ginger, oregano, thyme, scotch bonnet pepper, garlic, pumpkin, onion, 3 Etos, one sweet potatoe, okra, cilantro or parsley, plantain banana, 2 Yukon gold potatoe, ground pepper, callaloo or spinach, or kale. Dried splitpeas or chickpeas idk??
