A green vegetable soup might not be as appealing as most others, but trust me this is good. If my husband and friend who are absolute meat lovers lapped this up in no time, you know it’s got to be good. This is basically putting a pot of water to boil and throwing in peas, spinach, chilli, garlic (lots of it!), ginger and herbs. Later laced with a dash of coconut milk to lighten it up. It’s quick to make and from the looks of it, very healthy.
Yield: 2 cupfuls
Prep + cooking time: 15 mins
Ingredients:
Green peas (frozen) – 1 cup
Spinach – two handfuls (really hard to give exact measurements here)
Green chilli – 1
Garlic – 4-5 cloves
Ginger – 1/2 inch piece
Herbs like coriander, basil, thyme or anything you may have – as much or as less as you like them
Coconut milk – 1/4 cup
Water – 2 cups give or take
Salt to taste
Method:
Bring the water to a boil and throw in all the ingredients.
Let it simmer for 7-8 mins.
Drain and keep the water.

Do a taste check at this point and adjust salt if you have to.
Serve hot!
