Another Wednesday , another soup, this time it is spinach …
"Beautiful soup, so rich and green
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful soup!
Beautiful soup! Who cares for fish
Game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two
Pennyworth of beautiful soup?"
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Well, it seems Queen Victoria herself enjoyed Alice In Wonderland so much that she suggested Lewis Carroll dedicate his next book to her, and was accordingly presented with his next work, a scholarly volume entitled "An Elementary Treatise on Determinants", a serious mathematical work. He was a great mathematician too!
Sorry about the off-topic, random rambling!
Back to the spinach soup recipe , here it is !

For a different flavor, try adding 4 spoons of
canned coconut milk ( instead of milk) to the spinach soup.
