Green soup for Halloween ! Quick & easy creamy asparagus & spinach soup … so nutritious too !
This soup is super easy- a great combination of greens, a good way to get this most essential colour in our diet as well. So super low in cal and carbs, perfect for VLCD. Make sure you do add the black pepper and lemon, as this is the key to getting it tasty ! I ate it cold as it was warm today, a good one for a summer soup I reckon !

Definately Tracey, just avoid using the frozen spinach for it if possible. Use baby spinach leaves in the bags fresh 🙂 Joni
