2 tbsp butter
5 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/2 – 1 tsp

1 bunch spinach, coarsely chopped
3 large carrots,
1 cup frozen peas

Additional notes/suggestions:
To blanch and peel tomatoes just boil a pot of water and drop the tomatoes in for a few minutes. When you see the skins begin to split apart, remove them from the water. Then they are very easy to peel. Once peeled, cut the tomato in half and remove as many seeds as possible then chop.
This soup is even better re-heated the next day.
