Spinach and Mint Soup

May 2011

This recipe is wonderful. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 leek, washed thoroughly (look for dirt on the inside of the white parts) and sliced thinly
  • 1 tbsp dried ginger
  • 4 cups vegetable stock (the Pacific brand low sodium vegetable broth works very well)
  • 1 can lite coconut milk
  • 4-5 cups shredded spinach
  • ¼ cup fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Heat oil in soup pot. Add onions, leek, ginger and fry for 2 minutes. Pour in stock and coconut milk. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Add spinach, mint and lime juice. Simmer for 10 minutes until spinach is nicely wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy with fresh break and avocado slices!
