I know sounds a little morbid. I always called this simple clear soup "baby soup" because the main ingredients are baby spinach and baby portabella mushrooms. In reality there are no babies that were harmed in the making of this simple healthy soup. I've been making this soup for almost ten years now. Was one of the first things I ever came up with when I first started to learn to cook for myself. It has gone through a few changes, but until other things I used to cook, it has survived the test of time.
