Chicken Noodle Soup with Spinach Recipe
Chicken noodle soup is a hearty comforting dish, perfect for gloomy rainy days or snowy day. It’s also great for kids who are feeling a little under the weather. When my little one isn’t feeling 100%, she doesn’t get excited about eating solid foods. Something ‘soupy’ is a lot easier to swallow.
This dish is rich in iron because it’s loaded with leafy greens – spinach! Just 1 cup of cooked spinach contains more than 6 mg of iron as well as protein, calcium, vitamins A and E, and fiber.
