Green and yellow soup (with lamb and spinach)

AIPGluten-freeFODMAPLow carbPaleoLunchDinner

During my ulcerative colitis flare-up this soup was always calming and satisfying.
The recipe is inspired by a Middle-Eastern dish. It is simplified and adapted to be low FODMAP, AIP compliant but to remain delicious. My kids love it too so it must be something to it.

It is one of my favorite soups. I like the colors, I like the flavors and I simply enjoy cooking this recipe.
