Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups (950ml) vegetable stock
- 2 cups (480ml) water
- 1 pounds (450g) spinach discard any thick stems
- 1 potato peeled and chopped into ½-inch cubes
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- ⅓ cup (80ml) heavy cream(double cream) plus more for garnish
- croutons optional
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium heat, then add the onions and cook for 5 minutes or until soft but not browned. Stir in the garlic and cook for a further minute.
- Add the stock, water, spinach and potatoes and bring to the boil, then cover with a lid, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Season with the pepper (you may wish to add salt if you use a low-sodium stock).
- Blend the soup with a blender (in batches) or with an immersion blender. Stir in the cream.
Notes
- Blending hot soup can be dangerous, so make sure you blend in batches if you’re using a blender.
- Cube your potatoes into smaller pieces so they cook quickly and evenly.
- When pouring in cream, be sure to reserve some as a creamy white garnish to top the soup.
- Bump up the nutrition and add some more greens to the mix such as kale, collard greens, or even carrot tops.
- Give this soup a kick of heat by garnishing with fresh red chili flake or adding cayenne pepper to the soup mix.
- If you want a spinach soup with a hint of natural sweetness, try using a peeled sweet potato instead of a white potato.
- For a chunky soup, strain out the potatoes and blend the spinach, then add the potatoes back in.
- Add some chopped carrots or celery to flavor and add to the soup and blend with the rest of the ingredients.
- Fresh herbs like mint and basil make a great mix in to add flavor to spinach soup.
