Cream of Spinach Soup
First things first, let’s set the stage with a tantalizing image! Feast your eyes on our luscious Cream of Spinach Soup, ready to tantalize your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a vegan twist!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a sprinkle of nutmeg for that extra zing!
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. No worries if you start dancing while stirring; it’s a good sign of a happy cook!
- Stir in the minced garlic, letting it mingle with the onions for about a minute. The aroma of garlic is the scent of victory!
- Next, toss in the chopped spinach. Watch it wilt down like it just heard the punchline of the funniest joke ever told! Stir until the spinach cooks down, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the broth and bring this vibrant mixture to a simmer. Let it hang out for about 10 minutes so all those flavors can get to know each other!
- Time to blend! Carefully transfer the soup to a blender or use an immersion blender right in the pot. Blend until it’s silky smooth, like your favorite jazz track.
- Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper, and for those feeling adventurous, sprinkle in a bit of nutmeg for that magical touch.
- Heat through, then ladle the warm soup into bowls. Feel free to garnish with a dollop of cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy!
And there you have it! Your Cream of Spinach Soup is ready to be devoured. Perfect as a cozy dinner or impressing guests with your gourmet aspirations! Bon appétit!
