Vegan Spinach Soup with Tempeh

Spinach Tempeh Soup

I have been craving spinach soup for weeks now.  When I was little my mother used to make a spinach soup and I freakin’ loved it.  I have no idea how she did it but I wanted to try to recreate it.  So, I bought frozen spinach and had it sitting in my freezer for weeks.  (It’s still winter-ish here so fresh spinach was out of the question)  I finally pulled it out to use it.  The soup is basically a puree of peas, spinach, coconut milk and spices. Then I topped it with toasted tempeh.

I cannot tell you how good this was.  It was buttery without being overwhelming.  It was thick without being too thick.  It was really the perfect soup.  The tempeh added a wonderful nutty taste.  I am going to perfect this recipe and share it with you as soon as I do.  For now I’ll just give you the eye candy.
