Khyati's Health-O-Meter Says:

This spinach soup is a good way to include healthy greens in your diet. Spinach is a good source of Iron (folate). Low levels of iron can cause people to develop Iron Deficiency Anemia. Brown rice has high fiber content which has the possibility of reducing heart diseases and helps to avoid abrupt spikes in sugar levels. Soybeans and soy milk are significant sources of protein, which is a much-needed nutrient for good health, particularly for the hair and skin.
