SPINACH SOUP EVERYONE WILL LOVE!

A very tasty spinach soup that everyone will love!

Provided by adapted by Christina Conte

Categories     Soups

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup grated onion (2 ounces)
1/2 cup grated carrot (2 ounces)
2 tbsp olive oil
5 cups chicken or vegetable broth (40 fl. oz)
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
1 cup milk (8 fl oz) for the sauce
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
5 cups fresh, chopped organic spinach or 12 oz frozen chopped organic spinach
1 cup milk plus 1/2 cup heavy cream (8 fl. oz milk, 4 fl. oz cream) to add at the end
1/2 tbsp butter and 1/2 cup (4 oz) sliced almonds (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium high heat and add the grated onion and carrot, stir well and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the 5 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then lower heat, partially cover with lid and let simmer about 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium sized saucepan, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and stir, while cooking over medium heat. If it starts to brown, the pot is too hot. Cook for about 3 minutes, then slowly add a little of the cup of milk.
  • Stir well, then add 1/2 of the milk. Once this is incorporated, add the rest of the milk, stirring constantly. It is important to always stir this white sauce or it will become lumpy, or stick to the bottom. If it does become lumpy, you can always "cure" the problem by blending the sauce with a stick blender (shhh...don't tell anyone)!
  • Next, add about a cup of the carrot, onion broth to this sauce and mix well; then add the entire pot of sauce to the simmering broth, while stirring well.
  • Now it's time to add the spinach. Stir well and simmer for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat and add the milk/cream. Stir well and add salt and pepper to taste. That's it! Soup's done!
  • If you'd like to add a nice finishing touch and bit of crunch, you can sauté the tablespoon of butter with about 1/2 cup of sliced almonds until they brown a little. Sprinkle a little on top of each serving in the bowl and enjoy.

CREAM OF SPINACH SOUP



Cream of Spinach Soup image

Puréed vegetable soups can be lean and spare or rich and creamy, spicy or subtle, hot or cold. They can be vegetarian or quite meaty. And much of the cooking time is just for simmering. This spinach soup, with a touch of nutmeg and some cream, is a classic combination, and its flavor justifies that distinction.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound spinach, well washed, thick stems trimmed
3 spring onions or 3 bunches scallions, trimmed and roughly chopped
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
Small grating of nutmeg
Salt and pepper
1 cup heavy or light cream, half-and-half or milk

Steps:

  • Combine spinach, onions and stock in a saucepan, and turn heat to medium high. Bring to a boil, and lower heat so mixture barely bubbles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is very tender, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat, add nutmeg and a sprinkling of salt and pepper, and let cool at least a few minutes.
  • Pour soup into a blender, in batches if necessary, and carefully purée. Return to pan, add cream, and, over medium-low heat, reheat gently, stirring occasionally. When soup is hot, adjust seasoning, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and is more nutritious than frozen spinach.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach becomes slimy and loses its flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. A homemade broth is ideal, but you can also use a store-bought broth.
  • Season the soup to taste: Spinach soup can be seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs. Some common spices and herbs used in spinach soup include garlic, onion, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and dill.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers: Spinach soup is a great soup to serve with a side of bread or crackers. This helps to soak up the soup and make it a more satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Spinach soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup. It's a great way to use up leftover spinach and it's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. This soup can be served as a main course or as a side dish. It's also a great soup to freeze for later use.
