A simple but really healthy Spinach Soup recipe, perfect for your little ghouls this Halloween!

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS

This soup is really simple to make and is packed full of nutritious fresh spinach.

Spinach is one vegetable which can be really difficult to get kids to eat, but blended into a ghoulish Halloween soup like this makes it a lot easier to convince them to try it!

And if there’s one time in the year you can convince kids to eat something green it’s Halloween!

Start off by frying some onions in a saucepan and adding garlic, potatoes and stock.

Cook this for 15 minutes and then add a big bag of fresh spinach.

Cook this for another couple of minutes until the spinach has wilted and then add some creme fraiche.

Blitz with a hand blender until completely smooth.

I like to finish my Spinach Soup with a swirl of cream and some chilli flakes. But feel free to leave these off for the little ones!

Product Recommendation

This is the Hand Blender I use. It’s a very simple one but does the job perfectly!

If you try this Green Goblin Halloween Soup, please do let me know what you think.

And tag me in a picture on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #myfussyeater.

I really love seeing all your pictures of my recipes and your little ones enjoying them!

    Made this for lunch today as I had an open bag of spinach hanging about in the fridge that needed to be used and I’ve got to say the soup was really very good!

    Haha! This is a great idea. I used to make soup that turned out green and so we called it Shrek Soup but Green Goblin soup sounds even better! My boys will love this!
