Clear spinach soup

Fast clear broth — spinach goes in last and serving time is capped.

Method

  • Boil water + sliced shallot + a little salt & sugar.
  • Add carrot/baby corn first (4–5 min needed), spinach and final salt in the last 1–2 min.
  • High heat, open pot — spinach stays bright green, not grey.

Quality & safety

Serve within 2 hours of cooking — spinach stores nitrate that turns to nitrite when held warm. This is why MBG schedules clear soups as the last batch before dispatch.

Production scaling

Vegetables linear ×N; broth water f=0.9 plus evaporation correction; salt/sugar f=0.9. Cook in pots of max ±150 portions so spinach does not sit dying.
