End of the Week Curry Soup

This is what I make when I am running out of fresh produce and everything is about to go. It is basically a high end version of 'Kitchen' only it is so good I get overly excited when I realize I have the stuff to make it. It is inspired from Karina Kitchen's Moroccan Coconut & Chickpea Soup.

End of the Week Curry Soup

Ingredients:

• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 onion, cut into thin slivers
• 1 large yam or sweet potato, peeled, diced
• 1 red pepper, seeded, cored, diced
• 2 apples, peeled, cored, diced
• 1 tomatoes, diced
• 1 15-oz. can beans (chick pea works best, but I've made it with kidney beans)
• 1 15-oz. can coconut milk
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• A pinch cinnamon, cumin, ginger, and cayenne pepper
• Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Now throw everything in a pot and cook, covered, over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about thirty minutes.

Add just before serving:
1 cup packed spinach or greens
Hot red pepper flakes (optional)

Slowly stir while the greens cook down. Now serve!

This works great with some fresh bread or a scoop of thick yogurt. Enjoy!
