I absolutely love spinach and could eat it every day, and use it in many different ways, but I have never made spinach soup. I searched for one that appealed to me and decided on this. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1571/creamy-spinach-soup It is just as green as shown in the picture because half the spinach is pureed raw in with the already cooked soup. I did not add the cream as I always freeze a few servings of soup, and it tastes just as good when defrosted (I don't mean this one as I have not frozen it yet, but any of the many varieties I make). I always tend to go with the comments, and this one had some positive ones. Looks like a keeper for me. Take care, Pat |

I will sound like a 1955 Campbells Soup ad but what I do is take a Cmpbell's cream soup and add in any cooked or raw veg, depending (so spinach could be raw, but carrots or celery cooked.) Color matching is god (use Cream of Broccoli or Celery for green veg like spinach and Cream of Chicken or Mushroom for steamed carrots.) Salt content is diluted down becasue I will use a pound or more of carrots to a can of soup and a can of milk...and then more milk for a thinner consistency at the end. I usually make it when I look in the fridge and see that the carrots or the celery are looking a bit tired. With spinach I always toss a small handful of chopped frozen spinach into my ramen, along with a couple shrimp, some leftover chicken, leftover pork, dried mushrooms etc...and lots of freshly grated ginger. Makes a nice lunch out of a $.25 bag of noodles. |
