Spinach soup with mint and crunchy potato topping

You're right: spinach soup doesn't have the best reputation. But we ate this soup like crazy, directly from the saucepan. The secret is to add some potatoes for a smooth texture; some mint leaves for a fresh topping and coconut milk for the perfect creaminess. We're feeling kind of healthy while eating this soup and recommend cooking doing it too!
