Spinach Soup made with Corn, Shredded Coconut, Almond Milk, ginger and garlic. This is perfect comfort soup for the winter.
Fall is the time for soups and nothing says soup like ginger in soups!
Ok, that might not be accurate, but, you cannot deny the power of ginger in any soup. If the weather is cold out there, then, ginger is exactly what the doctor ordered.
There are so many health benefits of spinach soup with ginger in it. I added so many other ingredients to this soup, but truth be told, the soup would have tasted just great with spinach and ginger.

Corn makes this spinach soup taste like there is still a little of summer left in the air. It also added some density to the soup which was sorely missing.
Coconut adds a little Thai flavor to the soup because I love coconut in soup. Both the coconut and almond milk add a creamy flavor to the soup without the heavy fats. I have nothing against the heavy creams, but, why not use an alternative which is just as flavorful? If you have coconut milk, use that instead of the pure coconut and Almond milk.
If you are using pure coconut, I suggest that you toast the coconut for a minute or two before adding it to the processor. There is a smoky flavor to this soup because of toasting the coconut.
Rounding out the flavors is ginger and garlic. This two bulbs have such different flavors, yet, they work so much better when they are together in soup. Also, they are great for digestion in the winter time. Ginger can help anyone with Gastrointestinal issues.
I strained part of the soup just to make it a little more liquid in consistency. This is not necessary and you can skip the step altogether.
So, what is your favorite soup of the season?
