Simple Spinach Soup

1. 1

   Cook the spinach leaves in a little water, with a pinch of salt and just enough water to cover the spinach. Set it aside.

2. 2

   Chop the bacon into tiny pieces, and cook it with a little oil or butter until crisp.

3. 3

   In a blender or food processor, place the garlic, cilantro, celery, bread and the cooked spinach along with the cooking liquid. Mix until all the ingredients are incorporated.

4. 4

   In a deep pot, place the bacon and a drizzle of the cooking oil. Add the blended mix by sifting it through a colander. Let it cook for a couple of minutes. Add 4-5 cups of water, the bouillon and the butter. Mix well and let it simmer for a couple more minutes. At this point you should taste it. If it feels too bland, you can add a bit more bouillon, or simply add salt and pepper to taste. And it is done!

5. 5
