Spinach soup is one of the winter specials that I think every soup lover cooks at least once during winters. There are many recipes of what is popularly known as palak soup. This recipe of spinach soup is vegetarian and gluten-free.
Palak soup is considered quite healthy because it contains lots of greens so most mothers I know make a special effort to cook this winter soup and feed their family the same. However plain palak soup sometimes gets little bland and boring, so I always try to add additional flavours / textures to make the soup little extra flavourful. For example, in this recipe of spinach soup I have added tomatoes which gives it a tangy taste which makes it taste so much better than plain spinach soup.
This recipe of spinach soup is slightly different in terms of taste because I have added apples to it which gives this soup a great body and a slightly sweetish taste which is balanced so well with sharp cheddar cheese which is used to top it up. Extra virgin olive oil also adds a great taste, so I highly recommend that instead of adding cream or anything else drizzle few drops of extra virgin olive oil and I am sure you will definitely love it.
Soups are delicious to taste and a great way to add veggies to your everyday diet. This recipe of spinach apple and potato soup is very healthy too, Most of you know that spinach and apples are rich in micro and macro nutrients, potatoes add a healthy dose of carbs and that makes it a complete meal too.
If you feel hungry you can alway eat bread along with it, but on its own too it’s quite filling. If you like to know complete nutrition breakdown in terms of calories and carbs etc you can check in recipe notes.
If you love soups, then other than this spinach and apple soup you may like to try roasted tomato and basil soup , roasted beetroot soup , or Palak ka soup
