Carrot ginger bisque with rice and greens

A warming soup from a can of bisque that needs nothing but rice and a vegetable to turn into dinner. The coconut and tahini make it rich enough to anchor a bowl, and the ginger hums beneath the sweetness of carrot.

Serves 2. 25 minutes, 10 at the stove.

You need

To buy

  • 4 ounces greens, such as spinach or chard

From your shelf

  • 1 can, 16.3 oz Pacific Foods organic carrot ginger bisque, plant based

Staples

  • 1/2 cup rice
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil

  1. Put 1 cup water in a small pot with a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Stir in 1/2 cup rice, cover, and lower the heat to a bare simmer. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes, while you handle the soup and greens.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a larger pot over medium heat. Roughly chop 4 ounces of greens and add them to the pot with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until they wilt, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the contents of the bisque can into the pot with the greens. Add 1 cup water and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes to warm through, tasting as you go and adjusting salt and pepper.

Note Swap the greens for shredded cabbage, diced celery, or diced fennel. Leftovers keep in the fridge for three days and freeze for a month. Serve with crusty bread or stir the cooked rice into the bowl to thicken the soup.
