This is the best soup I've ever made! I absolutely love this soup - you can pack a huge amount of spinach as it reduces a lot when sauteed. I substitute a can of garbanzo beans for the potatoes since I love the taste and always them on hand. The crutons are worth the extra work (almost no work at all)! I've made it 4-5 times now and seperate the portions in tupperware so I can eat throughout the week for a filling healthy lunch. Warning: They aren't kidding about being careful when putting the hot ingredients into a blender/food processor! It helps to do small amounts at a time and remove the lid/cover slowly so it doesn't burst. Pros: Healthy pretty Cons: Takes some time a little messy
If this is supposed to be healthy eating why are you using butter? Why is the sodium content so high?
This soup rocks. It's amazing. Even my husband ate spinach and enjoyed it. Very healthy. Very easy. Yum.
I don't use butter because I'm vegan but I don't think a tablespoon of butter in an ENTIRE RECIPE is going to impact the recipe's overall healthfulness. And the sodium comes from the chicken broth -- even low-sodium is still high -- so use water.
Butter is not bad for you in moderation certainly when compared to artificial spreads. Do some research on it.
healthy soup A healthy tasting soup. Potatoes make it very filling. I substituted two packages of frozen chopped spinach for fresh. However the amount of dried rosemary in the soup was too much for my taste. I'd use fresh spinach next time. Be sure to add a touch of nutmeg. Incidentally I used butter to saute the onions--vegan's can substitute olive oil! Also I used homemade vegetable stock. Would make again. Pros: good use for spinach Cons: too much rosemary
Nutritional Content Is this correct. When I punched it into Lose It as a recipe I only got 4.8 grams of protein for a 2 cups serving. I am just wondering how you got 7 grams of protein for a 1 cup serving? Thanks!
