Instructions

Beans: Rinse 2 cups dried mung beans with cold water in a colander, picking out any bad looking beans or pebbles. Add beans to a large pot along with 8 cups vegetable broth. Set heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to reach a gentle simmer, then cook the beans, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes. They are finished when they are soft and some have burst. Most of the broth should be absorbed, though a little is okay.
Flavor Makers: While mung beans cook, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 cup diced white onion, 2 cloves garlic, 2 Tbsp freshly grated ginger, and 1 cup diced celery. Cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Soup: Add sauteed veggies into the pot of mung beans, along with 1 14-oz can coconut milk and 3 cups fresh spinach. Let gently simmer until coconut milk is hot and spinach has wilted. Serve warm.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days. You can also store it in the freezer in an air-tight container for up to 3 months. I like to freeze it in silicone molds (any shape is fine), then transfer it to a freezer-safe plastic bag labeled with the name and date I made it.
Find mung beans in the international or dried beans aisle, or check an Asian supermarket.
