This dark green spinach vegetable soup is a perfect fall soup that is quick, easy, and healthy. In fact, it can be made in 20 minutes. AND if you following Weight Watchers or just want to lose weight, this delicious soup is a dream come true. A hearty bowl is low calorie, low carb, vegan, and Zero Points Plus according to my calculations. Yet it is flavorful, fast, and full of fiber. This healthy soup is a winner!

The main ingredients are generous amounts of spinach, celery, onions and garlic simmered for just 5-7 minutes in a vegetable broth ( or chicken broth if you are so inclined) and then pureed. The soup boasts powerful immune building protective antioxidants which is a plus during the fall and winter flu season!

Interesting Seasoning Variations

You can spice it up with one of the following spices:

cumin

curry spices

nutmeg

cayenne

Trust me. The soup doesn't need anyone of the spices, it is wonderful just the way it is.

I just wanted to point out that it lends itself to other variations.

Low Carb Diet?

Sometimes I'm following a low carb diet like an Atkins type, so I can add lots more fat to the recipe and make it taste like a richer creamy spinach soup.
