Easy Spinach, Lime and Ginger Soup

This is so simple to make and tastes good too. I found it “Mouthwatering Vegan” by Miriam Sorrell.

What you will need:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 ½ tsp finely grated/minced fresh ginger

1 medium onion, chopped. Optional. I left it out and soup tasted fine.

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped. Optional. Again, I left it out and the soup was fine without it.

400g frozen spinach or 600 fresh

4 cups of vegetable stock (You can find the Massel range at supermarkets and yes, it is vegan.)

Juice of 1 lime

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Pinch of ground cardamom

Salt and black pepper to taste

Method:

Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat and add onions and ginger. Saute for a minute and then add garlic. Sauté for another minute.

Add spinach and cook, stirring got a minute or if using fresh, until wilted.

Add stock and cover. Bring to boil and then reduce heat to simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Remove from heat and using a hand held immersion blender, blend the mixture.

Add the lime juice and spices. Process for 1 minute and then serve. Add salt and pepper if you wish.
