YOGURT OR BUTTERMILK SOUP WITH SPINACH AND GRAINS



Yogurt or Buttermilk Soup With Spinach and Grains image

This is informed by my yogurt or buttermilk soup with wheat berries from a few weeks ago, but this time I stirred chopped steamed spinach into the refreshing mixture. It's a great soup to keep on hand as summer arrives. For a particularly irresistible version, add some diced avocado.
