Ingredients

4 round bread rolls, hollowed out, doughy centres reserved

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

1 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1 1/2 teaspoon cumin

3 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock

4 medium potatoes, peeled, chopped

2 bunch english spinach, trimmed, washed, chopped

1 lemon, juiced

greek yoghurt, to serve

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

2.Break up hollowed rolls into chunks. Arrange on tray, spray with olive oil and bake for 6-8 minutes, until crisp (see Notes).

3.In a large saucepan, heat oil on high. Saute onion 3-4 minutes, until softened. Stir in spices and cook 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add stock and potatoes. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, simmer 4-5 minutes, until potato is tender.

4.Remove stock from heat. Stir spinach through to wilt. Add reserved doughy bread centres.

5.Using a hand blender or food processor, process mixture until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and season to taste. Serve soup with croutons and a dollop of yoghurt.

Instead of breaking the bread shells up into croutons, warm the whole shell in a moderate oven, 180°C, and fill with soup.
