Helpful Tips
If you’re new to making soups, don’t worry! This recipe is quite forgiving. Here are a few tips to make your cooking experience easier:
- For a thicker soup, increase the amount of flour by 1 tablespoon.
- You can use frozen spinach if fresh is not available, just be sure to thaw and drain it well before adding to the soup.
- Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version of this soup.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream to restore its creamy consistency.
