Quick Spinach Soup is a nutritious and delicious soup that can easily be made vegan. Baby spinach, onion, potato and a dash of nutmeg are the main ingredients!
There’s nothing better for lunch when it’s cold, than a hot bowl of soup and with snow forecast and St Patrick’s Day upon us I thought I’d share my Quick Spinach Soup with you!
I love a bargain and last night I got 2 bargain bags of baby spinach which I had intended to make into my Quick Poached Egg & Garlic Spinach Bagel but then hubby said he fancied soup. I decided to keep things simple and opted for adding potatoes, onion and nutmeg.
I wasn’t sure if my Quick Spinach Soup was going to be any good but I needn’t have worried as hubby very quickly gave it his seal of approval! We were soon tucking into our bowls of soup with gusto along with some toast.
This recipe is easily adapted to be vegan by swapping the butter for vegan spread or you could just use come extra oil. Spinach is really nutritious. To gain the maximum amount of iron from it you should serve it with vitamin C rich food like freshly squeezed orange juice.

I’m a big fan of spinach and this looks so easy and warming, especially with mini beast from the east 2 still blowing in from Siberia
