Place mung beans and kombu into a medium pot with 3 cups filtered water and a good pinch of salt, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer – continue to simmer, uncovered until beans are softened - approx. 25 minutes. Set aside.
While beans are cooking, chop all vegetables.
Warm olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Place all vegetables (this can be done one by one as you finish chopping them…) into the pot with a pinch of salt. Let the vegetables cook down a bit, until softened – approx. 10 minutes + another 5 minutes once all vegetables are added to the pot, if adding as you chop.
Add in remaining seasonings and stir well to combine.
Then add diced tomatoes, broth and water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Drain mung beans and stir into the soup and let continue to simmer for 5 more minutes.
Turn heat off and add in spinach – stir to combine and wilt spinach.
Serve in big bowls as is or with a crusty piece of good sourdough bread or my 5-minute Grain Free Bread!
