Creamy spinach cheese soup with egg noodles, paprika, and croutons in a vintage floral soup pot.

Spinach Cheese Soup

The first spoonful is creamy and cheesy, with tender noodles tucked among the spinach. Cheddar and Swiss melt into a broth that makes this soup substantial enough for a cold-evening supper.

By Betty Lou Gardner40 minUpdated 2026-08-25

This Spinach Cheese Soup is creamy, comforting, and packed with flavor from tender noodles, melted cheddar and Swiss cheese, and plenty of spinach in every spoonful! Rich enough to feel like a meal on its own yet simple enough for a weeknight supper, it's the kind of soup that pairs perfectly with crusty bread and a cold evening.

Granny’s Kitchen Notes

From Betty Lou Gardner

The spinach gets squeezed dry in a clean towel before it ever goes near the pot. I shred the cheese myself because it melts nicer than the packaged kind. This soup always seems thicker the next day than the first, and I never mind adding a little milk to bring it back where it ought to be.
