- 1 onion chopped
- 600ml vegetable soup
- 1 tin coconut milk (400 ml)
- 400g spinach
- zest and juice of 1 lime
- 200g brown basmati rice
Instructions
- Cook or steam the rice until tender. Let it rest.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the cumin seeds. Set half aside.
- Add the onion to the pan and fry until soft. Pour in the stock and the coconut milk. Bring to the boil, then turn off the heat and add the spinach. Put the lid on for a minute then blend the soup until silky smooth.
