My favourite food to make when it cold is creamy soup and so far all of the ones I have tried and made I have liked. I think it is because I really love vegetables. I made a simple pea and mint soup previously. For the recipe click below: https://www.creativecookblog.com/post/pea-and-mint-soup
This time, I added my favourite green leave veg spinach. It really goes well with it due to fact you can fry it in butter, garlic and marjoram. This is a great vegetarian soup to have to build your iron levels up with the spinach. I am looking forward to trying and making soups throughout the year. The weather hasn’t changed yet unfortunately.
