Norwegian spinach soup, also known as Spinatsuppe, is a comforting, creamy, and vibrant green soup. It is a popular dish in Norway, especially during the colder months. The soup is typically made with fresh spinach, but frozen spinach can be used as well. It has a creamy texture, thanks to the addition of cream or yogurt, and a slightly tangy flavor from the lemon juice. The soup is often garnished with a sprinkling of fresh dill or chives, adding a refreshing touch. This delicious soup is not only easy to make, but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect meal for busy weeknights or a cozy weekend brunch.
