· Heat the soup.

· Tear up the spinach leaves.

· Heat a little oil or butter in a sauté pan over medium/ med-low. When hot add the giant croutons. Toast them evenly on each side turning as necessary.

· When the croutons are toasted either add them to the spinach and dress; or throw the leaves into the pan with the croutons, add a little oil and maybe a splash of balsamic vinegar and toss to partially wilt the spinach and serve the lot together as a warm salad.
