Questions

How do I know when Spinach Soup is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 2: cook until lightly golden. Step 5: cook until the spinach is tender.

Can I make Spinach Soup dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Spinach Soup is 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 cup whole milk. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Is Spinach Soup low-carb?

A serving of Spinach Soup carries 15 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of it fiber. Against a strict 20 g keto day that is 75 percent of the budget; against a moderate 100 g low-carb day it is 15 percent.

How many carbs are in Spinach Soup?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) has 15 g of carbohydrate in about 160 calories, with 6 g protein and 9 g fat, plus 3 g fiber and 520 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How long does Spinach Soup keep?

Refrigerate Spinach Soup for up to four days, or freeze it in portions for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it. If you plan to freeze it, stir the dairy in when reheating rather than before freezing; cream and milk split in the freezer.
