Recipe tips
- If using frozen spinach in place of fresh, you’ll only need 100g.
- If you don't use the soup straight away, you may need to add extra stock or water when you reheat as it will thicken after a while.
- Freezing instructions: Freeze in portions then defrost in the microwave. Heat until piping-hot, stirring regularly. Eat immediately and discard any leftovers.
