Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and set aside. Choose your protein (tilapia, chicken, or beef) and cut into bite-sized pieces if necessary.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Protein

    If using chicken or beef, add the protein to the pot and cook until browned on all sides. If using tilapia, skip to the next step.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Soup Base

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Add Spinach and Cook

    Add the spinach leaves to the pot and stir until they wilt down. If using tilapia, add it now and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the fish is cooked through. If using chicken or beef, ensure the meat is fully cooked before adding the spinach.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in the lemon juice, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
