Soup's on!



This is a light creamy soup that tastes even better the next day. So...it's a good soup to put on the stove Sunday afternoon and enjoy it for lunches throughout the week! Packed with veggies it's good for you!
Spinach Soup
1 Med. onion, chopped
46 oz. Chicken broth, I use bouillon cubes
4 T. butter
2 C. powdered Creamora (or 1 C. milk if you don't have the Creamora, but the Creamora does make it a bit creamier)
2 carrots, peeled and sliced thin (or 1 C. frozen slices)
2 Med. potatoes, peeled and sliced in 1/2 slices(use 1 can sliced if you want to)
1/4 C. instant brown rice
1/2 t. salt
Pepper to taste
1 small box frozen spinach, thaw in a colander over a bowl
Saute' onion in the butter, bring broth to a low boil. Add onions/butter to broth, add Creamora, stir. Lower heat to a simmer and add carrots, potatoes and rice. Simmer for 30 mins. Add spinach and simmer another 20 mins. Serve, freeze or use throughout the week.

  1. I think I went through ALL of your posts - quickly skimmed them, anyways - and found a bunch of great recipes which I saved for future use. THANKS!!

    I also *love* the sunporch. I want to have a sunporch or mudroom or whatever - and have that locker/cubbie combo. What a great way to keep the coats and shoes and bags organized. When we first walk in the door, well, that is the worst - just getting everyone to put everything away and not have the entryway look all cluttered and messy.

    Thanks for sharing~
