Garlic Spinach Pepper Soup

In my attempt to make nutritious and easy soups, I came up with this particular soup. This soup is easy to prepare and nutritious because it contains spinach. Some children are fussy to eat their greens so, for them this kind of soup is preferred.

Serves four.

Chopped Garlic	1 tbsp
Butter	1 tbsp

1. Take a big pan and add the butter and heat it. When the butter melts add the chopped garlic and spinach and saute for some time.

4. Add the milk and let the mixture boil well and thicken.
