Sunday Morning Calalloo

When I was nine years old, I read a Reader’s Digest quote stating that according to the Chinese, each time you try something new you add 78 days to your life.  As the child I was, I believed I found the secret to living forever!!

So, here we go, try this…Calaloo:

Servings: 6

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

·  4 cups vegetable stock
·  Red pepper flakes
·  6 cups collard greens or kale, chopped
·  4 cups okra, chopped
·  Coconut Oil
·  Coconut Milk

1. Combine all ingredients except coconut milk in a large pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer.

2. Simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until veggies are nice and soft.

3. Puree soup using an immersion blender (you could do this in a conventional blender but be careful not to burn yourself!).

4. Add coconut milk, stir to dissolve. Enjoy!
