Ingredients
  

  • 230 g frozen peas
  • 100 g frozen spinach
  • 2 shallots chopped
  • 1/4 cup coriander stalk
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves
  • 1 inch fresh ginger
  • 1/2 tsp lemongrass paste
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 500 ml vegetable stock
  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • toppings - chilli oil, cream, fried shallots, red chilli, lime and/or peanuts

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large sauce pot
  • Fry the shallots over a low heat until they are translucent. Add a pinch of salt to help release the juices
  • Add the garlic and sweat until fragrant
  • Add the ginger and stir through well until fragrant
  • Add the frozen peas and cook until the moisture starts to evaporate
  • Stir through the lemon grass paste along with a splash of water
  • Add the frozen spinach and cook down. Coat the spinach with the peas to help the cooking process, alongside another splash of water
  • Pour in the coconut milk and bring everything to a boil, followed by the vegetable stock. Continue to simmer the soup for 5-10 minutes
  • Turn the heat off the pot and use a stick blender to pulvarise the mixture into a smooth soup. Alternatively use a food processor to blend everything together (be sure to cool the contents of the pot for roughly 10 minutes)
  • Once you are happy with the texture, return the soup to a rolling bowl
  • Serve the soup hot with your choice of toppings
