Notes
- This spinach soup is delicious garnished with hearty croutons and fresh herbs.
- Soup keeps well in the refrigerator for 2–3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- If you do not have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup to a traditional blender or food processor and process until smooth. You may need to work in batches if it does not all fit. Be careful handling the hot soup!
