Silky Edamame Soup

Silky Edamame Soup is exceptionally well balanced.

I love to pair Edamame Soup with all of my Asian entrees. Do not make this soup with regular spinach only use baby spinach. I cooked it with regular spinach and it changes the flavor of the entire soup. 

I found this recipe in my Skinnytaste Cookbook.  If you don’t have this cookbook buy it because it’s one of the best cookbooks I own. 

Cost Per Serving $3.17 as of August 2022

If you have ZERO ingredients then this recipe will cost about $12.67.

I am assuming you have salt and pepper and do not add it into the recipe total cost.
