Creamy Spinach & Mushrooms Soup

When I say it’s easy, it’s easy. Even if the vegetables wouldn’t be all frozen and ready to cook, it would still be easy and ready in 30 minutes. This is my first choice of quick soups when I want something quick but also creamy and comforting that I will not regret later.

Light in calories and very light in carbs, this is the the healthiest choice that one can have with their poached eggs or on its own.
