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.

CREAM OF SPINACH SOUP



Cream of Spinach Soup image

This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 pounds spinach, trimmed
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a large pot, cook spinach in boiling salted water until wilted; drain. When cool, squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
  • In a medium pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes.
  • Add flour and cook, stirring, until combined, 1 minute.
  • Whisking constantly, add broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes.
  • Add cooked spinach and cilantro; cook until cilantro is just wilted.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl. In batches, fill a blender halfway with mixture and puree until smooth; to allow heat to escape, remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid with a dish towel, and hold down firmly while blending. Return soup to pot as pureed.
  • Add cream and heat over medium until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with broth or water, if desired.

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:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach is best for this soup, but you can also use frozen spinach if that's all you have. Just be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using.

  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Crispy bacon will add a lot of flavor to the soup. Cook it until it's just starting to brown, then remove it from the pan and set it aside.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the spinach, don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the spinach will steam instead of sautéing and it won't have as much flavor.

  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Use a broth that you like the taste of and that is low in sodium.

  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is done, taste it and season it with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Serve the soup with crushed bacon chips: Crushed bacon chips are the perfect topping for this soup. They add a lot of flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Cream of spinach soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy, flavorful soup that your whole family will love. Serve it with a crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
