Keto Spinach Coconut Soup

About this recipe

Spinach and coconut milk are a keto power couple—one delivers iron and nutrients while the other provides satiety and richness without a trace of sugar. This Thai-inspired soup bridges East and West, bringing warming ginger and lime brightness to a naturally vegan base that feels indulgent and creamy without any animal products. The trick to silky texture here is not to overcook the spinach before blending; add it just long enough to wilt, blend smoothly, and you'll get that restaurant-quality creaminess. Ginger and white pepper are the silent heroes—they cut through richness and prevent the soup from tasting one-note. Many people make this too thin; a full can of full-fat coconut milk (about 400 ml) is essential for that coating mouthfeel. Prepare this up to four days ahead and store in the fridge; the flavors actually deepen. Frozen spinach works beautifully too—thaw it first and squeeze out excess water. If you want more protein, add cubed silken tofu during the simmer, or serve with a side of cashew or peanut butter for dipping to boost the meal's staying power.
