Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach and vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but 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. Once the spinach is wilted, it's done.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
- Season to taste: Every palate is different, so be sure to season the soup to your liking. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other spices that you enjoy.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Spinach and rice soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, croutons, and chopped bacon.
