This soup is oh-so yummy, easy to make, and the aromas will make your mouth water. Serve with some crusty bread. Freezes well, so it's excellent for lunches and leftovers (not that there will be any left).

I'm not usually a fan of spinach soup, but this recipe changed my mind! The combination of spinach, coconut milk, and spices is divine. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This spinach soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The flavors of the spinach, coconut milk, and Scotch bonnet peppers blend together perfectly. I especially liked the addition of the dumplings, which gave the soup a hearty and filling texture.
