serves 4 
3 Swips per serving 
ready in 35 minutes  
vegan 
freezer-friendly <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

low-calorie cooking spray 
2 red onions, finely chopped 
3 garlic cloves, crushed 
15g fresh sage leaves 
500g large potatoes, peeled and diced 
1.5 litres vegetable stock (suitable for vegans) 
250g baby leaf spinach 
4 slices wholemeal bread from a small 400g loaf <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you do: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Spray a large saucepan with low-calorie cooking spray and heat gently. Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sage and 4 tablespoons of water and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the water has evaporated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Add the potatoes and stock. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the spinach and cook for 5 minutes or until wilted. Pur\u00e9e with a stick blender or whizz in batches in a food processor, and season to taste. Keep warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Now make the croutons. Toast the bread and cut 3 shamrock shapes out of each slice. (We found a shamrock cutter online \u2013 but circle, square or any other shape croutons will taste just as good!). Cut the rest of the bread into small chunks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Divide the soup between bowls, grind over some black pepper and add the croutons to serve. <\/p>\n\n\n
