Mushroom and Spinach soup

This is a good bowl of comfort on a chilly spring night; packed full of vitamins and
nutrients straight from the garden. Eat it with a nice crusty bread for sopping
up the broth and you have one of the best things in life!

Take some shallots and carrot and brown them off in a soup pan in a little olive
oil. You can add a little butter here too, if you like. It brings a bit of
richness to the soup. Melt in some tomato paste and one or two anchovie filets.
Pour in some broth, any flavor you like and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and add a bunch of small mixed mushrooms. Simmer.
Just before serving wilt in some baby spinach. Season with salt and pepper,
but be careful with the salt depending on what broth you use.

Wish I had some of this right now while I am typing....it's a little cool
here. This will surely warm up your insides!
