Tofu or low FODMAP tofu crumbles
Extra spring onion greens or coriander
Chopped peanuts
Instructions
Boil the kettle and take out two medium heat proof mixing bowls. Place the coriander and spinach in one and a handful of ice in the other.
Pour the boiling water over the greens and allow to wilt for 10-15 seconds. Drain them, then transfer them to the ice bowl and add cool water. Allow to cool while you work on the rest of the ingredients.
Add the remaining ingredients for the soup into your Nutribullet or high powdered blender.
Drain the blanched greens, then add them to the blender too.
Blend until the soup is smooth or reaches your desired consistency.
Once you’re happy, pour the soup into a medium size pot and place over a low medium heat. Add water as you see fit (250-500ml) and add any additional seasoning as necessary.
Serve warm alone, with the optional ingredients or with whatever else you fancy.
Notes
Blend thoroughly to ensure the makrut lime leaves are totally broken up. They can be stringy if not.
I recommend adding more liquid if you intend to serve the soup over noodles and less if you don’t. The noodles tend to thicken the soup, so an already thick soup might become too thick when noodles are added.
If you have leftovers, it’s ideal to keep the noodles and soup separate for this reason.
If leftovers become too thick overnight, add some extra water when you reheat them.
