while, i am huge fan of creamy tomato soup, my husband loves palak soup. interestingly, most of the time, i end up preparing tomato soup. however, last week i decided to give a pleasant surprise by preparing the creamy palak soup. he prefers to be it very simple without any cream. however, this time i made the spinach soup more creamy and thick. i was skeptical as he never prefers to be thick and creamy. but he really enjoyed having the creamy version too. later, i than decided to make a video of the same soup and post on my website too.
