Green Ganja Soup

Green Ganja Soup is a wonderfully infused version of green soup, which is a healthy, cleansing and delicious way to help set your system back in working order just in time for the beginning of the holiday season.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons cannabis infused THC olive oil, plus more for garnish 

2 large yellow onions, chopped 

1 teaspoon salt, divided 

2 tablespoons plus 

3 cups water, divided 

1/4 cup arborio rice 

1 bunch green chard (about 1 pound) 

14 cups gently packed spinach (about 12 ounces), any tough stems trimmed 

4 cups vegetable broth, store-bought or homemade 

Large pinch of cayenne pepper 

1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more to taste

Directions:

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add 2 tablespoons of water and cover. Simmer, stirring frequently until the pan cools down, cover stirring occasionally until the onions are greatly reduced and have a deep caramel color for about 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 3 cups of water and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a soup pot or Dutch oven; add rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Trim the white ribs out of the chard, which you can save for another use like adding it to a stir-fry or other soup. Coarsely chop the chard greens and spinach. When the rice has cooked for 15 minutes, stir in the chard greens. Return to a simmer; cover and cook for 10 minutes. When the onions are caramelized, stir a little of the simmering liquid into them; add them to the rice along with the spinach, broth and cayenne. Return to a simmer, stir once, cover and cook, until the spinach is tender but still bright green, which is about 5 more minutes. Puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender until perfectly smooth or in a regular blender in batches then return it to the pot. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Taste and add more lemon juice, if desired. Garnish each bowl of soup with a drizzle of cannabis olive oil.
