If you have some fresh spinach and some chicken broth, you have the makings of an easy and wonderful cream of spinach soup that’s far superior in flavor to any canned cream spinach soup you may have tried.
This week’s recipe for Cream of Spinach Soup Made With Fresh Spinach from the folks at Once Upon a Plate will help you make this quick, classic, and flavorful soup.
Best of all, it’s very easy to customize this soup to your taste. If you prefer your cream of mushroom soup to be smooth, just puree the cooked soup using an immersion hand blender, food processor, or tabletop blender.
Want to mix things up a bit? Add some corn and/or crumbled cooked bacon to this soup for a nice change of pace.
Enjoy!
