For a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of milk.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful touch of heat.
If fresh basil isn't available, 2 teaspoons of dried basil can be substituted. Add it during the simmering stage to allow the flavors to infuse.
This soup can be easily blended for a smoother consistency. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender (in batches) before adding the spinach and basil.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
