I buy my Callaloo at the Rasta Farm here. The first time, I asked how to prepare it and the lovely lady told me how to make soup. I came home and googled it and this is almost exactly what she said. Since they are vegetarians, there was no meat in her recipe, but the addition of the crab meat makes it very special! I also get my okra at the Rasta Farm! We love this soup and I make it every time fresh callaloo is available.
