This is one of my favorite soups that I learnt from mom. It is a hit at all our parties in winter as it is not very heavy soup. It’s also a very sneaky way to add in vegetables and feed your kids (I do that every time). No matter what the weather is, this soup ought to make you feel cozy. This soup also has a lot of health benefits as there is spinach involved (you get iron like iron man 😉 )
Ingredients
- One chopped onion
- Two cloves garlic chopped (optional)
- One cup blanched spinach – in a puree
- Half cup milk
- One tablespoon corn flour (can replace with oat flour also)
- 300 ML water (approximate)
- One tablespoon butter + a few drops of oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated cheese for garnishing
Method
- Blanch the spinach and puree it
- Sauté the onion and garlic (if using) in little butter and few drops of oil
- Add the spinach puree and sauté it with onion and garlic
- Add water and give it boil
- Mix corn flour to milk and to the Boiling mixture
- Keep stirring so that lumps are not formed
- Simmer for some time
- Add salt and pepper and mix and adjust consistency as per your liking

- Serve the hot soup with grated cheese or croutons
No matter what the weather is, this soup ought to make you feel cozy in no time. My whole family enjoys this soup and comes for seconds in seconds (you get it?) but on a serious note this soup will be one of the heartiest soups you will ever make.
