THAI STYLE SPINACH SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable broth until it begins simmering, then add the green onion, garlic, and tofu.
• Let simmer for 5 minutes, then add the spinach leaves and simmer another 5 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk and simmer an additional 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper (and a tiny bit Tabasco, if you like) then serve immediately.
• Note: regarding the 1 to 2 cups tofu- it depends on how"chunky" you want your soup or how many people you're feeding; you can also add a bit more vegetable broth, but not more than an additional 1/2 to 3/4 cup or you'll dilute the coconut milk too much.
• Also, you can make this a non-vegetarian soup by substituting tofu with cubed cooked chicken.
