Chard and Coconut Soup

Directions

Ingredients :

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 large yellow onion

chopped

2 tablespoons flaked coconut

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

3 cups stemmed and chopped Swiss chard

1 quart vegetable stock

1 (16 ounce) can coconut milk

¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

or more to taste

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Methods :

Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, coconut flakes, and garlic until onion is softened, about 10 minutes.

Bring a pot of water to a boil; add chard and cook just until leaves become brighter green, about 3 minutes. Transfer chard to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

Stir chard, vegetable stock, and coconut milk into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until soup is heated through, about 10 minutes. Top soup with Parmesan cheese; season with salt and pepper.
