SPINACH AND COCONUT SOUP

This is an almost instant, super soothing supper made easily from store cupboard ingredients. I have stipulated two tablespoons of Thai green curry paste, but do be prepared to add more if you like a bit more fire. If you want to adjust this a little, consider adding some little cooked prawns; just make sure they’re heated through before serving. The  chopped red chilli I add on serving is not obligatory, but I like the Christmas confetti!

Ingredients

  • Express Recipe
  • Gluten Free
  • Nigella Recipe
  • Vegetarian

serves 2 - 4 depending on whether you are eating this as a light lunch or a hearty supper. Can also fill 20 espresso cups.

 

  • 2 x 15ml tbsps Thai green curry paste
  • 400ml can coconut milk
  • 500g frozen chopped spinach
  • 250ml freshly boiled water
  • 1 tsp marigold or other vegetable bouillon powder
  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped, optional

Method

  1. Put the curry paste into a medium-sized saucepan or casserole with a lid, and add a few tablespoons of the coconut milk to whisk it into a paste over heat.
  2. Stir in the remaining coconut milk, and add the frozen spinach chunks. Stir, then pour over the boiled water. (It should almost cover the spinach, but not quite.)
  3. Add the vegetable bouillon powder and stir to mix. Bring soup to the boil before putting on the lid and turning the heat down, so that the soup cooks at a gentle simmer for 10 minutes. 
  4. When serving, if so wished, sprinkle each bowl with chopped red chilli.
  5. Additional information - for gluten free check the stock powder is gluten free.
