Spicy Thai Spinach Soup

In between the stresses of last week, I realised there was a big bag of spinach that needed using. We used to eat spinach a lot, but for some reason haven't been doing so in recent months.

So I had this bag that needed using, I didnt want to spend any more money and in my continuing quest to drop another half stone in time for my holiday I decided that I should make soup.

Thai Spicy Spinach Soup

1 bag of spinach - washed

1 large potato - skin left on

2 tbsp of green Thai curry paste

1 1/2 pints of chicken or veggie stock

1 onion



Finely chop the onion and fry in a little oil with the curry paste for 5 minutes

Finely dice the potato and add to the onion mix. Cook for a further 5 minutes

Add the stock and the bag of spinach and bring to the boil

Remove from the heat and blitz with hand blender

Season with S&P if needed and serve hot





I added the swirl of soya cream for the photo, but it doesn't really need it. The potato adds enough creaminess to the finished dish.



The colour does go a slightly sludgy green, but don't let it put you off. The curry paste adds just enough zing to make your nose run, and you get all that goodness and iron from the spinach. Perfect for these cold days.
