 Simple
Spinach Soup
By Maralyn Hill and Brenda Hill ‘The
Tandem Tasters’
Our team loves spinach every form.
We especially enjoy making this
simple spinach soup as the days grow
cooler and the farmers markets are
selling their autumn harvest. We
have been making a version of this
recipe since our children were
young. It is economic and healthful.
Ingredients
2 bunches of spinach, washed and
drained
1 onion
1 potato
1 carrot
2-4 cloves of garlic
6 - 8 sprigs of parsley or cilantro
3 cups of water, or stock
pepper, maybe salt, to taste
|
Method
We chop all by
hand, or use a food
processor.
Put all but salt and
pepper in a pot and
bring to a boil.
Simmer gently and cook
about 10 minutes.
Taste, add salt and
pepper as needed.
Tips
Chop by hand if
you like a chunkier,
rustic soup.
Chicken or vegetable
stock will make soup
more flavorful.
We also add a parsnip if
I have one for a subtle
sweet taste ( we do the
same in stews and pot
roasts).
We add a pinch of nutmeg
to almost every spinach
dish we make, especially
creamed spinach. It
gives spinach that extra
little something.
To make cream of spinach
soup, substitute 1 cup
of whole milk, and use
only two cups of water
or stock.
