Lusciously Rich Cream of Spinach Soup

By Kim Van Genderen

The perfect, easy to make meal on a hot summer day! Once you’ve soaked your sunflower seeds, it just takes a few minutes to chop and blend. Feel good knowing that you’ll be nourishing your body with some powerhouses of nutrition: Sunflower seeds and spinach. Amongst their many nutritional benefits, they share a high level of protein, antioxidants, minerals (copper & magnesium) and fiber.

  • 2 cups filtered water
  • 3 handfuls baby spinach leaves
  • 1 splash of lemon juice
  • 1 dash of Himalayan or Celtic sea salt
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 chopped tomato or handful cherry tomatoes

Suggestions & tips:

Think of this recipe a good starter or base soup. I’d strongly suggest getting creative and adding herbs and spices to give it some interesting flavor. Consider following a particular flavor profile such as Latin- cilantro, lime, oregano, avocado, extra cayenne, radishes, etc. Or Italian: parsley, basil, garlic, capers, olives, etc. Get creative! Use whatever you have in your garden or in the fridge.

Also, this soup is best eaten the same day it’s made.
