Description

A cozy bowl of soup featuring velvety texture and vibrant flavors, perfect for chilly days.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Potatoes (starchy varieties like Russets)
  • 4 cups Fresh Spinach
  • 1 medium Onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream or Coconut Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (optional)
  • Fresh Herbs (Thyme or chives for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the diced potatoes along with the vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat and let it simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Add the fresh spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  7. Remove the pot from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. Using an immersion blender, purée the soup to your desired consistency. Alternatively, transfer in batches to a countertop blender.
  9. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk for that creamy finish.
  10. Finally, add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste, adjusting as necessary.
