Jump to RecipeSince improving the nutritional quality of the meals at our house, has become a big goal for us, we’re working to increase the amount of veggies we eat at meals. Soups are a great way to do that.
Now, my hubby is not normally a big soup eater, but he actually is the cook behind this creamy spinach soup recipe. He loves watching cooking shows and is always saying something along the lines of, “I saw this particular recipe, but what about if we did…to it instead?”
Since I don’t consider myself a stupid woman…and I like to eat more than I like to cook…I always just nod my head and tell him that sounds great. And amazingly, it always is.
The man definitely knows his way around a kitchen.
