“Mommy Popeye The Sailor Man eats Spinach” my twin daughters exclaimed! and I said, “No sweetheart, you don’t have to be Popeye The Sailor Man to eat Spinach, you got to have those vegetables on keto and I adore spinach and more than that I adore spinach soup”.
So here I am with my recipe for keto spinach soup. I find this is a perfect night snack or even something to have along with your supper. It just occurred to me that it’s also pretty dense and rich and could easily be a spinach sauce over a piece of roasted/barbecued chicken (oh, wow let me try that out first, I would share the recipe with you guys)

- 4 cups chicken broth

Instructions

- Add chopped spinach to the pot and saute until wilted. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, fry bacon in another pan or bake in the oven until crispy then chop into small pieces. You can use store-bought crispy bacon bits, too.
- Turn off the heat, insert the immersion blender and puree the soup.

You can use dried herbs and spices to build more essence and flavor in your soup with a lower carb count. This soup is the best thing that happened to spinach. Horns Up!
