This soup is really very easy to make and takes less than 30 minutes from the time you prepare your ingredients to the time you're enjoying it with your family :)
The main ingredients are Spinach and Mushrooms. I always have frozen organic spinach in my freezer to add into some of my smoothies and juices some times or to make a soup like this time. Spinach has very high nutritional values and also very rich in antioxidants. It contains high amounts of potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium and is also a good source of vitamins A, B2, C & K.
I used Portobello Mushrooms for this soup because of its intense flavour and meaty structure. Portobello mushrooms provide nutrients but with very low calories, low fat and high fiber contents. They are low in sodium and high in potassium which makes them great in reducing blood pressure and fighting diabetes. They also contain selenium which improves immunity, reduces tumor growth rates and prevents inflammation.
Recipe (2-3 people)
Ingredients:
1 pack of frozen spinach
1/2 a portobello mushroom
1/2 organic vegetable cube
1/4 cup Soya Provamel cream (unfortunately not found in Oman, you can get it at most health stores around the world including UAE).
Salt & Pepper to taste
600ml water
Method:
- Boil the water
- Add mushrooms and spinach and bring to a boil again
- Keep it on low fire for 20 minutes
- Season with Salt & Pepper, cube and any other seasoning of choice and
- After it cools, blend in a blender.
- After blending, pour back in the pan and add the cream.
- re heat, garnish with parsley & serve.
I love squeezing a lemon right before having this soup to enhance its flavour :)
