Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

Notes

  • You can use fresh or canned tomatoes for this recipe. If using fresh, consider peeling and seeding them for a smoother texture.
  • For a creamier soup, you can blend a portion of the soup before adding the spinach.
  • If you like a tangy flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice directly into the soup before serving.
