Spinach is not only a great source of iron and minerals, but it also tastes great, and can be easily paired with a variety of other vegetables. But baking a Spinach Souffle or making a creamy Spinach Soup is definitely an interesting way to enjoy the health benefits of spinach, without compromising on taste. This Spinach and Cheese Soup is a healthier alternative to the traditional recipe, as it uses fat-free milk and low-calorie margarine. With a dash of black pepper and a mild flavor of nutmeg, this Soup recipe is sure to warm your hearts on a cold and chilly night!

Creamy Spinach & Cheese Soup
Ingredients
1 Tbsp. soft reduced calorie margarine
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 cups fat-free milk
1/2 lb. pasteurized Cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, cooked, well drained
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
Dash pepper
Method
Melt margarine in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender.
Add the remaining ingredients; cook on low heat until cheese is melted and soup is heated through, stirring occasionally.
HI Swarna, you can use any cheese that you like, but Cheddar, Swiss or Bleu cheese are ideal with spinach, and would melt well, making this a nice and creamy soup.
Nice recipe
Can you please tell me which cheese you are referring to?
Thanks
Wow.. this is a lovely combination.. Would love it 🙂
