Ingredients

• 4 cups hot water
• 2 slices bacon
• ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 pound fresh spinach
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
• 1 cup natural peanut butter (such as Adams®)
• ¼ teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco®) (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place bacon slices in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and crumble into pieces.

Step 2

Place water, spinach, peanut butter, seasoned salt, and hot sauce in a blender. Cover and hold lid down; blend on highest setting until soup is smooth and warmed through. Let sit until bubbles float to the top, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Strain soup into bowls through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to avoid getting bubbles in the bowls. Stir in bacon pieces and grated Parmesan cheese; garnish bowls with additional Parmesan cheese.
