Spinach & Potato Soup

November 14, 2023

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This week I had a bag of spinach and a couple of potatoes that I needed to use up so I decided to make spinach and potato soup. Despite its garish green colour it tasted quite delicious and I would certainly make it again. Feel free to alter the ratio of spinach and potatoes to whatever you have, I used a ratio of 2:1 as that is what I had.

I’m not sure I could get my kids to taste this but my husband and I certainly enjoyed it.

Serve with some homemade bread or some good quality shop bought bread.

You can store it in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze in individual portions.
