Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 2 small potatoes peeled, cubed
  • 750 ml vegetable stock
  • 120 g spinach
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cream to serve with optional - I used soya
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Firstly, finely chop the onion. Thinly slice the garlic cloves and peel and cube the potatoes.
  • Then, heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Fry the onion and garlic for 5-6 minutes, or until tender.
  • Add potatoes and toss to combine with the oil. Add the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender.
  • Then, add half of the spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until wilted.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender with the nutmeg and the rest of the raw spinach, and blend until smooth. Adding some spinach raw keeps the soup bright green. Reheat the soup gently and serve.
