Italian spinach soup with rice

January is a good time to have soups: it is cold and we all need something on a light side after the Christmas binges.
Get some tender spinach leafs, rice and an onion and you will make a delicious and light soup in no time.
This is a very Italian one and I like it because it is mild in taste and I can always make it at the last minute.
