[edit] About Cream Of Vegetables and Spinach Soup

opped in to the local greengrocers who had just been to the farmers market and had returned with some amazing looking veg.

Suffering from severe lack of Iron, I decided to make my all-time favourite soup.

The carrots give it an extra sweetness which makes it also one of my son's favourites, meaning I can get away with giving him more that the standard 5-a-day in one bowlful!

It's based on a standard Portuguese Cream of Vegetable Soup Recipe, that once made, you can add any veg or legumes of your choice. Today it was Spinach.
