Step 1

BOIL: Add all the ingredients (except the spinach) to a large pot and bring to a boil. Keep a close eye on this, as it can boil up quickly. Once boiling, turn your heat to medium-low and cook (covered) for 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

BLEND: Carefully transfer the contents of your pot (including the cooking water) to a high-speed blender or food processor along with the spinach. Let it sit for a minute for some of the steam to escape. Then, pulse a few times to chop up the larger pieces up and slowly increase the speed to high. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until the soup has a thick and creamy texture.

Step 3

SERVE: Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve this soup with some added red pepper sprinkled on top and enjoy!
