Description
This healthy vegetarian soup is a great way to use up a bag of spinach, and doesn’t need many ingredients at all. I’ve included rice in this recipe but it’s also lovely without.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- Cumin seeds
- 1 white onion
- 400g fresh spinach
- 1 cup white rice
- 400ml coconut milk
- 600ml vegetable stock
- 1 lime
Instructions
- Cook the rice and put to one side until you need it
- Gently fry the cumin seeds in a dry pan, this will only take 1 or 2 minutes
- Take half the cumin seeds and put to one side so you can sprinkle them over the soup at the end 🙂
- Leave the rest of the cumin seeds in the pan, and add the chopped onion, with a little oil, fry for 5 mins
- Add the vegetable stock
- Add the coconut milk, and bring to the boil
- Turn heat down and add all the spinach – you need a big pan just to accommodate the spinach at this point!
- Cover pan until the spinach has wilted. I find it helps to stir the spinach once or twice
- Blend the soup with a stick blender until smooth
- Add the lime juice
- Tip the rice in, and stir
- Now serve with cumin seeds sprinkled on top.
Notes
The default quantities should give you around 7 portions of 250ml each
