Cream of spinach Soup
As part of Keto/Low carb diet you should intake lots and loads of greens so that you get enough minerals. One such minerals rich greens is Spinach/Palak leaves and it is easily available in chennai. But the sad part there aren't much options with spinach except Palak Paneer, or a stirfry or add them in chicken curry to make spinach chicken curry. I was craving for a thick creamy soup for a long time and got this idea. It tasted super yum so i decided to share it in my blog.
Here goes the way I make "Cream of Spinach soup".
There is no quantity measure for this recepie.
Steps:
- I cut and wash spinach then drop them in boiling water with a pinch of salt.
- Switching off the stove once the spinach goes tender i let them rest for sometime.
- Once it gets cooled down, I blended them in a mixer with some salt and transfer in a bowl.
For the garnishing,
I roasted some vertically slit garlic pods in coconut oil and added them in the soup.
then i added a dash of fresh cream and a some butter.
Gosh!!! that look gorgeous and tastes really yummy too.
