Method
1
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, then add the sliced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2
Sprinkle flour over the softened onion and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a light roux, being careful not to brown it.
3
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock gradually while stirring to avoid lumps, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
4
Add the chopped spinach and stir well to combine, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the spinach begins to soften.
5
Pour in the coconut milk and stir thoroughly to blend with the stock, then return to a gentle simmer.
6
Season with Tabasco sauce, salt, and black ground pepper to taste, stirring to distribute the seasonings evenly.
7
Simmer the soup for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the spinach to fully incorporate.
8
Stir in the plain yogurt if using, blending it smoothly into the hot soup until no streaks remain.
9
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, adjusting seasonings as needed.
