Cream of Spinach Soup

This soup was brought about by finding out what I didn't have in the freezer -which was a bag of frozen veg but I had a little bag of steamed veg and set about making it into a lovely lunch by adding little bits of this n that-some peas, some herbs,stock etc and 15mns later I had 2 filling bowls of this. The porridge thickened it and added some creaminess to it. The Spinach added fibre and the chilli a little heat. This can be adapted to feed 4 easily as it is very versatile. You too can easily adapt this to suit your families needs by bulking out with more stock,a little bit more vegetables or some chopped chicken, bacon or crunchy croutons. You can also use fresh or a bag of frozen veg if you prefer. Why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below. We love to hear your feedback x
