This vibrant dish combines the fresh flavors of celery and onion with the nutrient-packed goodness of spinach.

Instructions:
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Taste the soup and add salt and pepper if needed. The chicken broth cubes may provide enough seasoning, so adjust as necessary.
- 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.
