Chard and Coconut Soup

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
• 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

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.
