# Ingredients:

01 - 1 onion, diced
02 - 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
03 - 4 garlic cloves, crushed
04 - 500 grams mushrooms, thinly sliced

09 - 3 cups spinach, chopped
10 - Pinch of chili flakes
11 - Salt and pepper to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Heat a splash of olive oil or a knob of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.
02 - Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until they turn golden brown.
03 - Stir in the fresh thyme and crushed garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Avoid burning the garlic.
