Spinach soup

Soup is a warm comfort food. There are clear soups and thick soups. This spinach soup is a thick one. I was encouraged to try making soups when my uncle, Ashok shared a soup recipe with me. Soups make you feel full because it contains a lot of water and fiber. Don't throw away any of the water that you use for cooking the vegetables or meat for a soup - it can be used for the broth. 

Spinach
Onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
Ginger - 1/2 inch
Green chilli - 1, sliced into small circles
Potato - 1 small, peeled and diced
Olive oil - 2 Tbsp
Salt - as required
Pepper - 1/2 tsp
Chicken masala - 1 tsp
Water - 1 cup

Wash the spinach leaves and remove the stems. In a pan on medium heat, add the oil. Once it warms up, add the ginger, chilli and onion. Saute till the onion becomes soft.  Add the spices, Then the potato and spinach and 1/2 cup water. Stir around till the potato gets cooked. This might take a few minutes. Also the spinach will wilt. Allow this to cool. Then puree this in a mixie into a nice paste. Add this puree into a pan. You can add the rest of the water into the mixie so as to it mix well with the remaining part of the puree. Pour this water puree mix also into the pan. Heat the pan. Stir for a while. Simmer and serve hot.

Quick tip - It tastes good with pav.
