This is a potato and spinach soup I made based on the Simple Butternut Soup in my photos. It's really spicy and everybody loved it, even my sis who hates spinach! I don't think she's ever eaten so much spinach at once! haha...

I don't eat cooked spinach at all. Will try this though, because hubby loves it. Keep you posted if you won me over to the spinach side. Looks tasty anyhow!


Hehe... I hope you enjoy it!

This DOES sound good, and simple! We eat a lot of spinach, as salads, cooked in quiches...etc. I look forward to trying this soup. Thanks for the post, Nemo.

Lately Im loving anything with Spinach in it...and the addition of potatoes is wonderful..


The yogurt is optional, it simply makes the soup creamier. ^_^


I am going to try this with dinner tonight. I will let you know how it turns out. Kilby


We ate this with dinner last night. I have to be honest, I was worried about my Honey eating it, he does not eat spinach at all, so I put about a teaspoon full on his plate. He actually asked for more! PS, I did not have plain yogurt, and being the Frugal Pantry Cooker that I am, I substituted Cherry Yogurt. It tasted fantastic...to all our suprise!

Oh wow, cherry yogurt! Incredible!
Glad your Honey enjoyed it!! ^_^


This looks very unique and delicious. My husband and I love to have soup and salad for dinner in the cold Canadian winters. This is going to be the next one I make. :)
