This Creamy Silverbeet Soup is a very simple soup to make, but goodness is it tasty!! Can be made in advance and kept in the fridge, or frozen for a later date. We recommend storing it / freezing it without the cream; just add it once you have defrosted. Packed with nourishing ingredients like silverbeet, potato, and garlic, and finished with a touch of cream, this soup is deliciously rich yet easy to make. Perfect for a cozy lunch or dinner, this recipe is sure to become a go-to for chilly days!
