Vibrant Vegetable Soup with Coconut Milk

- 475ml (2 cups) water
- 240ml (1 cup) coconut milk
- 1 large potato, peeled and diced
- 2 small carrots, peeled and diced
- 225g (8 oz) can of small white beans, drained and rinsed (1 x 14.5 oz can)
- 30g (2 tablespoons) butter for frying
- 15g fresh baby spinach leaves
- 15g fresh thyme (or 5g/1 teaspoon dried)
- 12g (½ bunch) fresh parsley, chopped
- 6g (1 vegetable bouillon cube) or 7.5g (1.5 teaspoons) chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
1. Peel and chop the parsley, setting it aside for later use. Next, peel the carrots and potatoes, then dice them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons (30g) of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, approximately 325°F (165°C). Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the saucepan, cooking until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Add 2 cups (475ml) of water, 1 cup (240ml) of coconut milk, 1 bouillon cube, and 1 sprig of fresh thyme to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, approximately 275°F (135°C), and simmer covered for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4. Add the chopped parsley, 1 cup (30g) of fresh spinach leaves, and 1 cup (160g) of cooked beans to the saucepan. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve the soup hot, accompanied by slices of crusty bread on the side.
