CREAMY SPINACH SOUP



Creamy spinach soup image

The lovely, leafy spinach in this recipe makes for a flavoursome and intriguing bright-green soup

Provided by Maxine Clark

Categories     Dinner, Soup

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

50g butter
1 medium onion , finely chopped
2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
1 medium potato , peeled and chopped into chunks
450ml chicken or vegetable stock
600ml milk
450g fresh spinach , washed if necessary and roughly chopped
finely grated zest of half a lemon
freshly grated nutmeg , to taste
3 tbsp double cream , to serve

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large lidded saucepan, add the onion and garlic and fry gently for 5-6 minutes until softening. Stir in the potato and continue to cook gently for 1 minute. Pour in the stock and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the potato starts to cook. Pour in the milk and bring up to a simmer, then stir in half the spinach and the lemon zest. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the spinach has completely wilted down. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the soup into a blender (preferably) or food processor, add the remaining spinach (this will keep the soup bright green and fresh tasting) and process until silky smooth - you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your machine. (The soup may now be frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost in the microwave or overnight in the fridge. The soup may lose some of its vibrancy on freezing, but the flavour won't be impaired.) Return to the pan and reheat. Taste and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. You may like to dilute the soup with a little extra stock if too thick. Ladle the soup into bowls and swirl in the cream

CREAM OF SPINACH SOUP



Cream of Spinach Soup image

Puréed vegetable soups can be lean and spare or rich and creamy, spicy or subtle, hot or cold. They can be vegetarian or quite meaty. And much of the cooking time is just for simmering. This spinach soup, with a touch of nutmeg and some cream, is a classic combination, and its flavor justifies that distinction.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound spinach, well washed, thick stems trimmed
3 spring onions or 3 bunches scallions, trimmed and roughly chopped
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
Small grating of nutmeg
Salt and pepper
1 cup heavy or light cream, half-and-half or milk

Steps:

  • Combine spinach, onions and stock in a saucepan, and turn heat to medium high. Bring to a boil, and lower heat so mixture barely bubbles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is very tender, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat, add nutmeg and a sprinkling of salt and pepper, and let cool at least a few minutes.
  • Pour soup into a blender, in batches if necessary, and carefully purée. Return to pan, add cream, and, over medium-low heat, reheat gently, stirring occasionally. When soup is hot, adjust seasoning, and serve.

SPINACH CREAM SOUP



Spinach Cream Soup image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into small dice (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
2 pounds fresh spinach
Coarse salt
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup 1/4-inch cubes French bread

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute (the flour should not take on any color).
  • Pour in stock, whisking to incorporate fully, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, whisking fairly often, to cook out raw flour taste and thicken the liquid (it should reach the consistency of heavy cream).
  • Blanch spinach: Wash well and trim tough ends while bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Salt the boiling water generously and submerge all of the spinach. Blanch 30 seconds, just until wilted and bright green, then remove spinach with a spider or slotted spoon and immediately plunge into the ice-water bath to stop the cooking, stirring to cool more quickly. Squeeze spinach with your hands to remove excess liquid.
  • Working in batches (do not fill more than halfway), add spinach and veloute base into a blender and puree until smooth. (Alternatively, puree soup in a food mill, using either fine or coarse disk, a food processor, or with an immersion blender.) Pass soup through a fine sieve into a clean pot, pressing on solids with a flexible spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.
  • Set pot over low heat and whisk in cream, if using. (Thin with more stock or water, if necessary.) Cream soups are the best made just before serving, especially when using green vegetables, as the soup can lose some of its vibrant color. You can make the veloute base the day before; let cool completely then refrigerate in an airtight container.
  • Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add bread cubes and cook until crisp and golden brown.
  • Serve soup garnished with croutons.

Tips:

  • Fresh spinach: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh spinach. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the soup. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a milder cheese like mozzarella or fontina for a more subtle flavor.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will lose its vibrant color and become mushy.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Cream of spinach cheese soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better when served with your favorite toppings. Try adding a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, or a few crumbled bacon bits.

Conclusion:

Cream of spinach cheese soup is a delicious and comforting soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it thick or thin, cheesy or mild, there's a cream of spinach cheese soup recipe out there for you.
