CREAMY SPINACH AND CARROT SOUP
My mother-in-law made this all the time and even my 7 year old would eat it. Pretty impressive for spinach! I've changed up a few things though by adding more salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. I also like to use 2 bags of pre-washed fresh spinach instead of frozen. And, I tried it in the crock pot last week and it was sooo simple!

This recipe is one that I think you will love. I fix a little different than most people. I use red pepper to give a little kick. I increased the nutmeg and the orange zest. I love it fixed this way. You try it and let me know. My grandkids love this and you know kids don't like anything.

CREAM OF SPINACH SOUP
Serve this creamy spinach soup piping hot, with a fresh buttered baguette. Delicious! You can make a vegetarian version by using vegetable stock in place of the chicken stock. Also, you can add a dash of paprika, cayenne, or red pepper flakes if you like more spice. Note: I used a 32 oz. box of organic chicken stock, and we thought it was fine that way (we like ours with plenty of broth). But the three cups of chicken stock that the recipe calls for should work nicely if you like a thick soup, or are going to blend it. I don't have an immersion blender, but feel free to blend this soup if you prefer a smooth version.

- Dairy Options: Feel free to use different dairy options based on your preferences or dietary restrictions. Milk, cream, or even coconut milk can be suitable alternatives. Different dairy options offer a range of flavors and textures, allowing you to customize the soup to your liking.
- Garnish: Before serving, consider garnishing the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chives, or a drizzle of olive oil. A garnish adds visual appeal and enhances the overall presentation of the dish.
