SPICY CORN AND COCONUT SOUP
A good corn soup is creamy and naturally sweet; an even better corn soup is spicy, refreshing and addictive. In this recipe, it's the combination of shallots, garlic, ginger, chiles and coconut milk, rather than heavy cream or butter, that makes the soup at once cooling and rich. It's a dinner in a bowl (and a vegan one at that), but it would surely welcome a side of steamed rice or salad of leafy greens. To serve, add garnishes that are any combination of spicy (extra fresh chile or store-bought chile oil), crunchy (toasted coconut, chopped peanuts or cashews, fried shallots) or fresh (torn cilantro, chopped scallions), and it'll be even more dynamic.

Steps:
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a bowl. Using the back of a butter knife, scrape the cobs so that all of the milky juices collect in the bowl and the cobs look completely dry, like wrung-out sponges. Set aside. (If using frozen kernels, skip this step.)
- In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, ginger and chile, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn kernels and juices to the pot, and sauté until the corn is softer and brighter, about 3 minutes more.
- Add potato pieces, and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Now, pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through.
- Use an immersion blender to roughly purée the soup, so that it's creamy with some kernels of corn, chunks of potato, and chile flecks remaining. (Alternatively, ladle about half of the soup into a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.) Season with lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice.

CURRIED SPINACH SOUP
I absolutely LOVE this soup and make it all the time. I've adapted the recipe to be more healthy by using olive oil instead of butter and fat-free sour cream. Serve topped with croutons.

Steps:
- Place the potato in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender. Drain, and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan or soup pot. Add the green onions, and cook until tender. Stir in the cooked potatoes, then gradually mix in the spinach, stirring after each addition until spinach is limp. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender, and puree until smooth.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pan, and whisk in the flour and curry powder. Gradually whisk in broth so that no lumps form. Return the spinach mixture to the pan, stirring to blend, along with the lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Place sour cream in a medium bowl. Ladle about 1 cup of the hot soup into the sour cream, and mix until well blended. Stir this back into the pot of soup. Heat through, but do not allow to boil. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions, chiles, garlic, and mustard seeds. Cook, stirring often, until garlic begins to brown and mustard seeds pop, about 1 minute. Add spinach to skillet by the handful, allowing it to wilt between additions. Cook, tossing often, until spinach is tender, 5-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use fresh ingredients whenever possible for the best flavor. Fresh spinach, coconut milk, and ginger will make a big difference in the taste of your soup.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its bright green color.
- Use a good quality coconut milk: Not all coconut milks are created equal. Look for a brand that is thick and creamy, with a high fat content. This will give your soup a rich, creamy flavor.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste your soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper to taste.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: This soup is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as chopped cilantro, lime wedges, or a dollop of yogurt.
Conclusion:
Spicy spinach and coconut soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach and coconut milk. With its vibrant green color and creamy texture, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious soup, give this recipe a try.
