Nothing could be better than a hot bowl of soup on a chilly winter day. During winters one thing that I crave a lot is soups. Tomato, mushroom, hot and sour and manchow soup are my favourite ones. But since during winters, spinach is in the season I love to have spinach soup more often. We all know that green leafy vegetables are beneficial for our health. Thus, I try to incorporate it into my diet as much as I can.
Today I am going to share with you a very easy and healthy spinach soup recipe.
Here is a step by step recipe of the same.
