Thai Style Spinach Soup

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup green onion, pieces in 1 inch lengths
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 -2 cup firm tofu or 1 -2 cup extra firm tofu, in 1/2 inch cubes
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves
• 1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk
• salt and black pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 heat the vegetable broth until it begins simmering, then add the green onion, garlic, and tofu.
• 2 let simmer for 5 minutes, then add the spinach leaves and simmer another 5 minutes.
• 3 add the coconut milk and simmer an additional 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper (and a tiny bit tabasco, if you like) then serve immediately.
• 4 note: regarding the 1 to 2 cups tofu- it depends on how"chunky" you want your soup or how many people you're feeding; you can also add a bit more vegetable broth, but not more than an additional 1/2 to 3/4 cup or you'll dilute the coconut milk too much.
• 5 also, you can make this a non-vegetarian soup by substituting tofu with cubed cooked chicken.
