CHICKEN, SWEET POTATO AND SPINACH SOUP



Chicken, Sweet Potato and Spinach Soup image

My mom made this for me every time I was sick; it was the only thing I could keep down. It was mild but I love it even when I'm not under the weather. She would use her own roasted chickens, but when I'm not feeling well I don't feel like roasting my own chicken, and the store-bought ones work in a pinch. Serve with crusty bread.

SWEET POTATO, SPINACH AND MEXICAN CHORIZO SOUP



Sweet Potato, Spinach and Mexican Chorizo Soup image

A pot of soup steaming away on the stove is a great way to chase away the chill. You can substitute any other kind of fresh sausage for the chorizo in this soup, like a spicy Italian sausage or even breakfast sausage, although you might want to spice the broth up with some red chile flakes if you use a mild one. This soup comes together quickly once you brown the sausage-basically just put everything in the pot and let the heat do its magic. A generous amount of chopped cilantro at the end adds amazing flavor.

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion until tender.
  • In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and dissolve the bouillon cube in the water.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend the onion, spinach, potatoes, nutmeg, and about 2 cups of the bouillon until thick and smooth.
  • Blend the potato mixture into the saucepan with the remaining bouillon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the milk, and continue cooking 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and more nutmeg to taste. Thus the soup is complete.

MEDITERRANEAN SPINACH AND POTATO SOUP



Mediterranean Spinach and Potato Soup image

Created for RSC #6. I've always been a big fan of spinach (thank you Popeye). I also love potato soup (thank you school lunches). Thanks to Susie D for putting both ingredients in the contest list so I could combine the two.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
3 sprigs basil
1 teaspoon coriander seed
1 cup sliced leek
1 1/2 lbs red potatoes, peels and cubed (about 4 cups)
30 fluid ounces broth
1/4 cup water
4 cups coarsely chopped spinach leaves
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt and pepper
sour cream or yogurt (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a 4 quart saucepan
  • Add the basil, coriander seeds and the leeks
  • Cook until the leeks are tender, stirring often
  • Add the cubed potatoes, broth and water
  • Heat to boiling, reduce the heat to low
  • Cover the pot and simmer for 25 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally
  • Stir in the spinach, lemon juice and salt and pepper
  • Simmer for 5 minutes
  • Serve garnished with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the soup.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is a key ingredient in this soup, so be sure to use a good quality broth that is full of flavor. You can also use chicken broth or water, if preferred.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder, depending on your preference.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: This soup is delicious served with a dollop of sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, or crumbled bacon. You can also serve it with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This spinach potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
