INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups dark chocolate chips
• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 quart heavy cream
• 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
• 2 Tbsp real vanilla extract (imitation ruins it)
• 2 cups strong brewed espresso grind coffee

Toppings
• super fine espresso grind coffee
• powdered chocolate

To make the soup:
In a simmering double boiler, gently warm the heavy cream, corn syrup, coffee, and vanilla. Pour in the buttons and gently finish melting the soup. Fill a shaker of larger than average holes with the fresh grind espresso coffee and another with the powdered chocolate. When the soup is melted, stirred to a uniform consistency, and hot, ladle into a small bowl or mug and top with a few good shakes of the dry coffee grounds and the powdered coffee.

While this soup can stand alone, we prefer it as half of the Yin-Yang Soup.

INGREDIENTS
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 1/2 lbs chopped fresh spinach
• 1 white onion chopped
• 1 lb frozen peas
• 5 cups vegetable stock
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 of a whole nutmeg, freshly grated
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• Salt to taste
• fresh chopped chives to garnish

To make the soup:
Slowly saute the onions in the butter for a few minutes until translucent.
Add spinach and peas and continue to saute for a few minutes until spinach is wilted and peas are thawed.

Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer.
Puree with a hand blender. This soup should be rather thick. If it is too thin, you can thicken by blending in more peas.
