    Potatoes says scrub not peeled
    #3 add the whole 3 cups of broth and everything else and cook for 5 minutes
    if u want a thicker soup add broth slowly until desired thickness save the rest for another use

    I made this soup tonight and was dubious as no one in my family likes spinach. But I am pleasantly surprised! My husband liked it, and my son who has recently turned vegan was impressed and even asked for the recipe. I did tinker with it a bit to add a bit more flavour and I didn’t use all the stock as I like a thicker brothy consistency. But I will definitely make the soup again.

    This is the third batch I have made ,I love it, you need to take out the bayleaf before blending as it is spikey and not edible, I also use prepackaged minced garlic then used a hand blender. I’m sure it is helping with the weight loss too it’s filling and tasty! Making some more as I write this comment.

    My soup is not the bright green color, as in the illustration; it is a deep green, the color of spinach. I used “orange/citrus” mint from my herb garden. The recipe does not state whether or not to remove the bay leaf, so I blended it with the rest of the ingredients. This is a light, slightly creamy soup. I like it.

    Thx, Ossie. I am prepping to make this soup this evening. I read all comments and did not see the answer to my next question….are the potatoes peeled? The recipe simply states “scrubbed and cubed.” Guess I’ll have to make a “chef decision” because this soup is cookin’ tonight! 🙂

    Hi, Thin_at_50. You can definitely use any milk you want here. As for the swap, note that milk and avocado are in two different food groups (protein vs. fat, respectively), so be sure to adjust the rest of your meal accordingly.

    It says add 1/2 the stock, but doesn’t say at what point to add the rest???/ Has anyone made this? I am a recipe follower. Once I follow the precise ingredients, then I can tweak it when I know what it is supposed to taste like. Any help is appreciated. It sounds wonderful

    Just made this soup tastes good. I wish all these recipes had proper measurements though and what do you do with the rest of the stock! Why say “six cups” when you only use half the stock! ie 3cups
