# How to Make:

01 - Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add a splash of oil, then sauté onion until soft and translucent, approximately 3 minutes.
02 - Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced lemongrass. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to release essential oils.
03 - Add spinach and chopped coriander, reserving a few leaves for garnish. Cook until completely wilted, approximately 2 minutes.
04 - Pour in coconut milk and vegetable stock. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
05 - Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth and creamy, or carefully transfer to a countertop blender in batches and blend until smooth.
06 - Return soup to pot. Stir in soy sauce, white pepper, and salt to taste. Simmer gently for 2 additional minutes.
07 - Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and sliced chili. Serve immediately while hot.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It acts like a liquid reset button for your body when you feel a bit sluggish.
  • The combination of creamy coconut and zingy herbs creates a flavor profile that feels sophisticated without much effort.
02 -
  • Blending hot liquid requires caution so never fill the blender more than halfway to avoid a green mess.
  • Straining the soup after blending is a great trick if you want an extra refined and professional finish.
03 -
  • A tiny pinch of white pepper provides a hidden heat that complements the ginger perfectly.
  • If you want a richer soup, swap some of the stock for a splash of coconut cream at the very end.
