Creamy Cinnamon Spinach Soup

This soup originated out of a need to create low sodium, but tasty foods for my son with FSGS and Nephrotic Syndrome (kidney disease). It has a lovely rich green taste and pleasant aroma and is wonderful served alone or with wedges of fresh vegetables. Can even be served as a smoothie! Scrumptious warm or cold, but not too hot.
