Ginataang Munggo, Mung Bean Soup with Coconut Cream

Ginataang Munggo, Mung Bean Soup with Coconut Cream Recipe
Ginataang Munggo, Mung Bean Soup with Coconut Cream. This recipe is basically ginisang munggo but made creamer by the addition of coconut cream. I used the canned coconut cream that is available in most supermarket. I do not have the usual leafy vegetables that are normally added to ginisang munggo (click here, here, here and here) so I use substitution.

Ginataang Munggo, Mung Bean Soup with Coconut Cream Dish


Instead of chili leaves I used spinach then added some extra long green chili. I would suggest to add extra chili for the added chili hotness that will complement with the coconut.
