Palak Soup is a healthy and tasty soup to have on a cold night. 

Winter has set in and calls for warm drinks and hot pakoras. Dinners are changed to soups and hot casseroles. Soups serve two purpose: they are filling and ideal for the weight watchers. Instead of binging on snacks, we can opt for the soup anyway. If you are looking for tasty and easy to make recipes, give a try to this palak soup. I like the fact it can be made in a few minutes. 

Spinach is a good source of iron. It is one of the green leaf I often use at home. I have shared many recipes with palak as alu palak, dry sabzi of palak with potato, dal palak and palak chutney. The palak rice turns out good and is ideal for brunch. I remember using spinach to make paratha and it tasted awesome. Among the dry snacks, I make palak sev and recently made chakli too.  What is your favourite recipe using spinach ?

About Palak Soup :

Palak aka Spinach is one of the greens we eat as a family, I find ways to use it in my cooking. Soup is one of them, often made during winters. It is flavoursome and ideal to serve for dinner. It is easy to prepare and ready in a few minutes. Clean the spinach leaves thoroughly. Make sure to use fresh, tender spinach leaves.Olive oil can be replaced with any other medium which is odourless.  I prefer using olive oil in a few dishes, this is one of them. Lastly, addition of cream is optional but it elevates the taste. 

Other Soup Recipes: 

I have shared a couple of soup recipes earlier. Tomato Shorba is the Indian version of tomato soup. Carrot Soup, Green Pea Soup, Tomato Soup, Vegetable Manchow Soup, are the other recipes you can check here. 

About the event :

It is raining soup in Shhh Secretly Cooking Group. Priya Iyer suggested this wonderful theme and its apt for the season we are dwelling right now. I loved her  carrot soup with coconut milk. I am sure it tastes awesome. Here, we are paired with partners, exchange two secret ingredients and cook as per the theme. The dish is later shared in the group,  other members guess the ingredients. It makes a change to the usual way we share the recipe. Moreover, a fun activity to engage with other members. 

I was paired with Preethi Prasad. I gave Preethi, amla and coriander powder as the secret ingredients for the Amla Soup she wanted to prepare. Do check it out, it looks delicious. Palak soup was on my list since a long time, She gave me clove and salt accordingly for the dish.

Take a tip: 

• You can use any refined oil instead of olive oil.
• You may add a piece of cinnamon too.
• Addition of cream is optional but it gives a good taste.
• I prefer making in small batches, hence used only one bunch of spinach. You can double the recipe. 
• You can add bread croutons as topping if you want.
