Clear spinach soup with tofu

The combination of spinach, mushrooms and tofu gives a strong rich flavour to what is basically a low-fat soup.

Quick spinach soup

Normally I'm a big fan of fresh spinach (I even grow it myself) but this easy soup is a great stand-by if you can't get the fresh version or you've got to get 'something' cooked and on the table in under 15 minutes - no mean feat by anyone's standards. It uses frozen spinach which is one of the more nutritious frozen vegetables and a handy thing to keep in your freezer.

Lentil and spinach soup

Here's a hearty soup that's low in fat but high in fibre and flavour. Of all the legumes, lentils are the most convenient, requiring no pre-soaking overnight and no long hours of cooking.

Spinach and cheese filo pie
This spinach and cheese pie made using thin layers of filo pastry is one of my all-time favourites. The saltiness of the fetta is mellowed by substituting half ricotta cheese (or you can use a soft farm cheese). Make it with either spinach or silverbeet (kale) - they both work well.
