A delicious creamy, thick, and hearty warm soup that you make in a blender. This is the tastiest and fastest way to get loads of phytonutrients and protein. Also, it is an extremely healthy way to eat high quantities of raw spinach without ruining your fruity smoothies.

Ingredients

2 slices bacon
4 cups hot water
1 pound fresh spinach
1 cup natural peanut butter (such as Adams®)
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
¼ teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco®) (Optional)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Directions

Place bacon slices in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and crumble into pieces.
Place water, spinach, peanut butter, seasoned salt, and hot sauce in a blender. Cover and hold lid down; blend on highest setting until soup is smooth and warmed through. Let sit until bubbles float to the top, about 5 minutes.
Strain soup into bowls through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to avoid getting bubbles in the bowls. Stir in bacon pieces and grated Parmesan cheese; garnish bowls with additional Parmesan cheese.

Cook's Notes:

For a healthier and delicious version substitute seasoned salt with miso paste, and/or cut with Mrs. Dash(R).

Avoid overheating the soup in the blender as you'll lose phytonutrients.
