    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Simmer Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Spinach

    After 20 minutes, add the fresh spinach and lemon juice. Stir until the spinach is wilted, about 3-5 minutes.
