This soup good for toddler or people who are recovering from illness. Spinach should be served immediately after being cooked. Boil the spinach just 3 minutes because if too long  the mineral is readily soluble in water. Spinach is not heated or consumed more than 5 hours. Because spinach also contain nitrates (NO3).
