easy Indonesian clear spinach soup

Local Southeast Asian spinach is different than the American spinach. The structure is a bit fibery and it doesn't cook down as much as the other spinach. Also, the local shallot is a bit different. It is smaller but has more intense and strong flavour.

Spinach soup with a deep fried turmeric tempe and white rice is always the set my comfort food!

2 cups of water
1 corn
2-3 shallots, thin sliced
