Creamy Spinach Soup


It would be impossible for a soup to be chock full of more antioxidants than this stellar Kimkins star!

Save yourself time (and money) with good quality frozen spinach like Birds Eye or Green Giant. Otherwise you'd have to buy 5-6 fresh bunches to equal just one 10 oz frozen bag.

Ingredients (6 servings)
  • 40 oz chicken stock, double strength
  • 2 cups cooked spinach
  • 1/4 cup onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream
  • 2 tbsp light cream
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or paste
  • salt & white pepper to taste
  • sun dried tomato & fresh thyme (garnish, optional)

Add 2 cans chicken stock, spinach, onion and garlic in a blender, whirl on high until fully blended (about 1 minute). Pour soup into saucepan, add the remaining can of chicken broth and cook over medium heat until until simmering.

Stir in sour cream and light cream. Check for seasoning, add salt and pepper as desired. Garnish with fresh herbs and sun dried tomato, serve hot! For a light lunch meal, add canned crab or salmon.
