Add oil to pan and heat. Add the onions and fry till golden brown. Add ginger and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. Mix in the coriander powder, cumin powder, chili powder, turmeric powder, thyme, oregano and 1/2 the fresh cilantro. Cook for 2-3 minutes till the flavors are released. Add the mung beans and the water or stock and cook till the beans are just done and have a bite. Add spinach and simmer till they are cooked, about 5-8 minutes.  Remove 1/2 the beans and set aside, if other things come along, it is fine.  Purée using a blender or hand blender till smooth. Return to pot, you should have a thick soup. If not, simmer till thick and adjust the seasonings.  Add most of the mung beans back, reserve about 1 large tablespoon for topping. Can be made and stored in fridge for 1-2 days.  Warm soup. Pour into bowls and top with the mung beans, a sprinkling of garam masala and some spring onions and the lime wedge.


NOTE: You can leave out the chicken stock, or substitute a good quality vegetable stock, to make this recipe vegan.
