Spinach Soup is a vibrant, nutritious, and comforting dish featuring fresh spinach blended into a creamy, smooth broth. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for a light lunch, appetizer, or wholesome dinner.

Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    4 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
    3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
    1 medium potato, peeled and diced (optional, for creaminess)
    1/2 cup cream, coconut milk, or milk (optional)
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    Optional: nutmeg, lemon juice, or fresh herbs (parsley, dill)

Instructions

Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.

  1. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in diced potato (if using) and broth; bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  5. Add chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  6. Remove from heat and puree the soup using an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender until smooth.
  7. Return soup to the pot and stir in cream or milk if desired.
  8. Season with salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg or lemon juice to taste.
  9. Heat through gently and serve warm.

Notes

  1. Use kale or Swiss chard instead of spinach for variation.
  2. Add cooked white beans or lentils for extra protein.
  3. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.
  4. Make vegan by using coconut milk and vegetable broth.
  5. Garnish with toasted nuts, croutons, or a drizzle of olive oil.
  6. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  7. Reheat gently on stovetop or microwave, stirring occasionally.
