Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large white onion finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 2 medium green chilies diced
  • 1 tbsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 kg spinach washed and roughly diced
  • 30 g vegetable stock pot
  • 1 whole head of broccoli washed and cut into chunks
  • 400 ml coconut milk unsweetened
  • 250 ml pouring cream and extra for the garnish
  • 1 tsp black pepper coarsely ground
  • 1 tsp salt salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add the olive oil, onion, garlic, chili, cumin, and cayenne pepper to a large saucepan or pressure cooker . Sauté for about 5-8min uncovered. Allow the flavors to caramelize and develop but never burn.
  • Add the wash and chopped spinach and allow to cook, uncovered, on medium-high until most of the water has evaporated. This will take about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Add vegetable stock, broccoli, coconut milk, and an additional 400ml of water (I just use the empty coconut milk can). Cook until 1/3 of the liquid has evaporated and add the cream. After adding the cream you must cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Note: you can keep some aside to drizzle on top before you serving if you wish.
  • Allow the soup to rest for a few minutes before serving, ensuring the flavors develop even more. Add salt to taste and serve.
