Potato and Spinach Soup

Soup is always comforting and everyone will have a favorite soup. I am sharing this soup for #SoupSaturdaySwappers. Karen is hosting this month. When she announced the theme as ‘favorite childhood soup’, I was thinking about mulligatawny soup or simple tomato soup. Those were the ones that I had during my childhood days and tomato soup ranked a teeny tiny bit more. My daughter convinced me to post this when I told her the theme. This is her all-time favorite soup. She loves it so much,  that she would have it as often as she could. In fact, I made the tomato soup and clicked it too. Then, the thought of doing this as a good amount of spinach gets included in the diet. And this is a very simple and easy soup. So decided to post this one instead of simple tomato soup. This is one of the regular ones made often in our home. Also, the ratio of potato to spinach can be adjusted as per preference.

Happy National Soup Swap Day! Today, I'm linking up with other bloggers for a virtual soup swap hosted by Kate's Recipe Box and Festive Foodies Event Planning Group (and friendly support!)- and we're all sharing some tasty soup recipes to warm you up! I am sharing this post for #SoupswapDay.
