Preparation

In a medium-sized, heatproof bowl, blanch baby spinach by pouring over boiling water. Sit for only 1½ minutes maximum – it should have a bright green colour. Carefully drain and set aside to cool.
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the chicken stock, garlic and pepper on medium to high heat until simmering (do not boil the stock).
Add spinach to saucepan. Add the 6 tablespoons of Greek yoghurt. With a wooden spoon, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you have a high speed blender that has a lid with vent, you can blend it this way also.
Add ½ the lemon juice. Mix through thoroughly and taste. If needed, add a little more lemon juice, salt and pepper.
To serve, add soup to serving bowls, dollop with a little Greek yoghurt and serve with warm, crusty bread. Enjoy immediately.

TIP: During cooking, do not overheat or boil the soup. Meet Jeremy Haw in the spinach fields as he shows ALDI customers in Australia how easy it is prepare this spinach soup.
