Feel-good is this soup’s middle name: it’s green, luscious and makes you feel positively saintly. Grab yourself a hunk of fresh bread and tuck in.
Pea, Ginger & Coconut Soup
4 cups chicken stock
1 tbsp finely grated ginger

1 cup coconut milk
3 tbsp lime juice
2½ tbsp fish sauce
roughly chopped coriander (cilantro), to serve (optional)
- Place the chicken stock, ginger, makrut lime leaves, peas and spinach in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.
