How to make spinach soup | Spinach soup recipe | Cream of spinach soup | Spinach soup for weight loss
Today we're making an easy spinach soup recipe that is light yet comforting. This is one of those spinach recipes where you can sneak in a lot of greens without compromising on taste. This low carb creamy spinach soup recipe does not use flour as a thickener but rather uses cashew nuts to add some thickness and creaminess while also keeping it low carb. That being said, it's not a very thick soup. Feel free to add 1tbsp cornstarch+2 tbsp milk towards the end if you prefer a thick soup.

RECIPE
INGREDIENTS: (2 servings)
200g/14 oz spinach
1 tbsp butter
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
1 cup milk (whole milk or plant based)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup water
2 tbsp cream (any kind works)
12-15 cashew nuts
PROCESS:
1. Roughly chop spinach, onion and garlic
2. Add 1 tbsp butter to a pan on medium low flame and sauté onion until it turns translucent
3. Next sauté the garlic for 30 seconds or until fragrant
4. Add the chopped spinach, cashews and sauté until the spinach wilts
5. Let the mix cool down a bit
6. Blend the mix until it turns into a smooth puree
7. In the same pan bring the milk, salt and pepper to a gentle boil
8. Pour in the puree directly or through a sieve. Using a sieve will result in a smoother texture
9. Stir the soup gently on medium low flame for 10 minutes
Optional: If the soup is too thin for your taste, pour in cornstarch/cornflour slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch+2 tbsp milk) around the 8 minute mark and stir until the soup has thickened.

TIPS:
• Straining the puree is optional. It removes the tough fibres as we did not remove the stems
• The pulp left from straining can be used to mix with dough
• The soup pairs well with garlic bread
