Creamy Spinach & Ham Soup DF GF

Ingredients:

6 Frozen chopped spinach pellets or 1/2 pack of the block form spinach
2 bouillon cubes or 2 tbsp bouillon powder
1/4 onion diced
1/2 cup of ham diced
4 - 6 cups water depending how thick you want your soup
Salt and pepper to taste

Thickening agent: mix well together
1 cup corn flour
3/4 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsps butter

In a large pot sautée the thickening agent until it forms a dough like consistency and is slightly transparent. Keep stirring as this mixture loves to stick to the bottom of the pot. Approximately 5-10 minutes on medium high heat.

Add the onions and ham into the thickening agent mixture. Break up the dough as much as you can. Add 4 cups of water and mash up the the dough bits as it boils. They should slowly melt away. I like to keep some of the dough in the soup for texture and dumplings. Add bouillon and spinach. Keep stirring as the soup thickens. Add remainder of water if the soup becomes too thick. Stir and simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. This is the dairy free version. But if you like dairy, I would recommend making some cheese crisps to add on top when serving.

Hope you enjoy my recipe and until next time. Happy cooking and bon appetit.
