Warm Spinach Almond Soup is all you need on a cold day. It’s also a perfect light weeknight dinner and super easy to whip up. Also, just that vibrant colour of this soup is enough for me to go back for more, not to mention it’s yum! It’s creamy and packed with the healthy goodness of spinach and almonds. I’m not a huge fan of soups, to be honest, it reminds me of something we usually have when we’re sick – but nowadays I’m really starting to enjoy making soups. It’s easy, healthy and light!
