Instructions

Heat the Oil:
In a large soup pot, heat a drizzle of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the pot is hot enough to start sautéing the vegetables. 🥄🔥 -
Sauté the Onions:
Add the finely chopped onions to the pot. Sauté for about 3 minutes, or until they become slightly softened and translucent. The aroma of the onions should fill your kitchen, setting the stage for the delicious soup. 👩🍳🧅 -
Add Aromatics:
Stir in the green onions, minced garlic, dried thyme, ground allspice, and the whole scotch bonnet pepper. Sauté for an additional minute. Be cautious with the pepper; it adds a delightful heat that balances the soup perfectly. 🥄🌶️ -
Add Broth:
Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, allowing all the flavors to meld together beautifully. This is where the magic begins! 🍲✨ -
Incorporate Spinach and Coconut Milk:
Once the broth is boiling, add the chopped spinach and coconut milk. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the spinach becomes tender and wilted. The coconut milk adds a creamy texture that is simply divine. 🥥🥬 -
Remove Pepper:
Carefully remove the scotch bonnet pepper and discard it. This step is crucial to prevent the soup from becoming overly spicy. 🌶️❌ -
Cook the Shrimp:
Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and curled. This quick cooking method ensures the shrimp remain tender and juicy. 🦐🍤 -
Finish with Lime Juice:
Squeeze in the fresh lime juice, then season the soup well with salt and pepper to taste. The lime juice adds a bright, zesty note that enhances all the flavors in the soup. 🍈🧂 -
Serve and Enjoy:
