  3. Stir in fresh spinach leaves and gently fold them into the hot soup, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts.
  4. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender in batches, blending until silky-smooth, then return the blended soup to the pot.

  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
