The nutty flavour and rustic aroma of spinach are the highlights of this cream of spinach soup, which is popular in most Indian restaurants. Made with very few ingredients, the Indian style cream of spinach soup is also easy to prepare.
Onion gives cream of palak soup a wonderful flavour, while fresh cream gives it a rich mouth-feel. Since spinach cooks fast, it also takes very little time to prepare this delicious cream of spinach soup that is loved by all because of its vibrant colour and creamy texture.
I would like to share some important tips to make the perfect cream of spinach soup. 1. Sauté the spinach on a medium flame for 1 minute. If cooked for more time, there will be nutrient and colour loss. 2. Blend cooked spinach in a mixer to a smooth purée.
cream of spinach soup and Garlic Bread make a great combo.
