Creamy Spinach & Vegetable Soup

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Soups Quick Meals
How do we get the family to eat spinach? With a silky cream soup! The potato's starch content thickens the soup naturally, so there is no need for a flour roux. The spinach is added only at the very end, preserving its vibrant emerald green colour and vitamin content, preventing it from becoming a greyish mush.

Instructions

1 ✓

Chop the onion finely, peel the carrots and potatoes and dice them into approx. 1-2 cm pieces.

Tip: Smaller pieces cook faster.
2 ✓

Sauté the onion in oil until translucent, add the crushed garlic, then the carrot and potato cubes. Toss well.

Tip: Tossing in fat starts the flavours before adding the liquid.
3 ✓

Pour in the stock, season with salt and pepper, and cook covered for about 15 minutes until the vegetables are completely soft.

Tip: Check with a fork: if the potato mashes easily, it's done.
4 ✓

At this point, throw in the fresh spinach. Cook for a maximum of 2-3 minutes until wilted.

Tip: Spinach is heat-sensitive: if overcooked, it loses its colour and vitamins. (Heat degradation).
5 ✓

Remove from heat and blend until completely smooth with a stick blender.

Tip: Be careful when blending hot soup!
6 ✓

Stir in the cream, warm back up (but do not boil!), and taste. Add salt if needed.

Tip: The cream rounds off the flavours and forms an emulsion with the vegetable fibres.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use frozen spinach?
Yes, but the flavour and colour of fresh spinach are much more intense. With frozen, you might need less liquid.
What can I replace the cream with?
Coconut cream or by cooking an extra potato in it for thickness.
