Kale and Okra Soup (Callaloo)

Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 6 cups fresh kale, chopped
• 4 cups okra, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 6–8 sprigs thyme
• 4 tablespoons Coconut Cream Concentrate

Directions:

Combine all ingredients except Coconut Cream Concentrate in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes until veggies are nice and soft.

Puree soup using an immersion blender. (You could do this in a conventional blender but be careful not to burn yourself!). Note: if the stalks of your thyme sprigs are very tough, you might want to remove them before pureeing.

Add Coconut Cream Concentrate and stir to dissolve. Enjoy!
