Quick, satisfying, and nutritious. The purpose of pureeing the soup is to blend the onions for a smoother texture. It’s okay if the spinach pieces stay intact. Thank you Batsheva for another great recipe!

You can use any other consomme – or any soup broth as a replacement. The other alternative is really just salt and pepper and any other preferred spices.

It should freeze well. It might be piecy when defrosting but when you cook it up, it should be good.
