A delicious vegetarian arugula spinach soup full of vegetables and with a lot of taste. A soup that is deliciously filling and easy to make.
Because of the spring, the birds are singing and the sun is already warm. Today, a real spring soup. The recipe comes from the cookbook Eat with Family and Friends by Sarah Raven, and that really is one of my favorite cookbooks. Seasonal food and not too difficult recipes.
These rocket spinach soup is really a season topper . Both veggies got plentiful harvest in the spring. And the creamy spinach, along with the pepper of the rocket makes that this really become a delicious recipe.

I'm so sorry I didn't catch on to this earlier. This was one of my oldest recipes and was still in only metric measurements. But I've adapted it, so US customary is from now on available. Thank you for noticing me!
