Creamy Potato and Rapini Soup image

I had some rapini in the fridge to use up, so I've adapted a potato/spinach soup recipe. If you don't have rapini - try it with broccoli. The cayenne really makes this soup sing. It doesn't add much heat, but you get a little "tingle" of spice by the end of the bowl.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 onion, diced
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups vegetable stock
3 cups water (2 c. for a thicker soup)
3 medium potatoes, diced
3 -4 cups rapini, florets (or broccoli)
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash onion powder
black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon spike seasoning, brand seasoning blend
1 dash cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in stock pot over medium heat.
  • Add onion - saute until onions are translucent.
  • Stir in flour.
  • Add stock, water, salt and onion/garlic powders and Spike seasoning.
  • Add potato and rapini/broccoli - bring back to a boil.
  • Cover and simmer - stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender. Rapini is smaller than broccoli and will break apart on it's own. If using broccoli - it should be tender by the time potatoes are ready.
  • Using a potato masher - mash the mixture a bit, leaving some chunks. Use a hand blender for a smoother texture.
  • Reduce heat to "low" and add cream - do not bring back to a boil.
  • Add black and cayenne pepper. Adjust salt/seasonings to taste.
  • Serve - garnish with grated parmesean or cheddar cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of rapini, but I really enjoyed this soup. The creaminess of the potatoes balanced out the bitterness of the rapini perfectly.

This soup is amazing! I love the creamy texture and the slight bitterness of the rapini. It's the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day.
