How to Make Cream Of Spinach Soup

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 10 ounces of chopped fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Peel and cube 2 medium potatoes (about 1 pound). Add the potatoes to the pot along with 4 cups of vegetable broth and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Return the soup to the pot and stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness), 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Heat through gently for a few minutes. Do not boil.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of crème fraîche or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
