Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely before adding it to the soup.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become wilted and slimy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to spinach, you can add other vegetables to this soup, such as carrots, celery, onion, and zucchini. This will make the soup more nutritious and flavorful.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
- Season the soup to taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
