Are you looking for a nutritious and comforting soup that's easy to prepare? Our Celery, Onion, and Spinach Soup is a perfect choice! This vibrant dish combines the fresh flavors of celery and onion with the nutrient-packed goodness of spinach. Whether you're aiming for a healthy meal or simply craving something warm and soothing, this recipe has got you covered.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash the celery stalks thoroughly and chop them into small pieces.
- Peel the red onion and dice it finely.
- Ensure the package of frozen spinach is ready to use (no need to thaw it).
2. Cook the Vegetables:
- In a large pot, combine the chopped celery and diced onion.
- Add the 4 cups of water to the pot.
- Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Simmer the Soup:
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.
- Allow the vegetables to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the celery and onion are tender.
4. Add the Spinach and Chicken Broth:
- After the vegetables are tender, add the package of frozen spinach to the pot.
- Stir well to combine.
- Crumble the 4 chicken broth cubes and add them to the pot, ensuring they dissolve thoroughly.
5. Continue Cooking:
- Simmer the soup for an additional 10-15 minutes on low heat. This will allow the spinach to cook through and the flavors to meld together.
6. Blend the Soup (Optional):
- If you prefer a smooth soup, you can use an immersion blender to blend the mixture directly in the pot until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
7. Season to Taste:
- Taste the soup and add salt and pepper if needed. The chicken broth cubes may provide enough seasoning, so adjust as necessary.
8. Serve:
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.
