Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped green onions
1 cup chopped spinach
½ cup chopped fresh basil
½ cup chopped parsley
5 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup half-and-half cream
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan. Saute onions until tender, about 10 minutes. Add spinach, basil or watercress (see Cook's Note), and parsley. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Stir in broth and sugar. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Slowly stir in cream.
  • In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until flour loses its raw smell, about 2 minutes. Whisk in a little of the hot soup into the flour mixture, mixing until smooth. Pour roux mixture slowly into the soup, stirring constantly. Bring just to a boil, and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve in warm bowls with a parsley garnish.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the herbs really came through, and the cream made it so rich and velvety. I served it with a crusty baguette and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
