Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
- Fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, making sure it doesn’t burn.
- Stir in the diced potato and cook for 5 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potato is tender.
- Add the chopped spinach to the pot, stirring to combine. Allow it to wilt for 3-4 minutes.
- If desired, blend the soup for a creamy texture using an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches, blending until smooth.
- Return the soup to the pot (if blended) and add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a richer flavor, stir in the heavy cream and a splash of fresh lemon juice.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of olive oil.
