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.

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.

HEARTY PEA-AND-SPINACH SOUP



Hearty Pea-and-Spinach Soup image

Heavy cream fashioned into a doily-inspired pattern on top of this soup will float for a considerable amount of time -- long enough to allow you to create patterns on individual servings and present them at the table. Ladle some of the soup into bowls in the kitchen, and place the remaining soup in a tureen for seconds. Decorate the surfaces of both before serving.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Yield Makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
2 pounds fresh English peas, shelled (about 2 cups)
1 pound spinach, tough stems discarded (about 12 cups packed leaves)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Heavy cream, for decorating

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and a 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, 3 to 5 minutes. Add stock, and bring to a boil.
  • Add peas, and return to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in spinach. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach has wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Working in batches, puree pea mixture in a blender, filling no more than halfway and adding up to 2 tablespoons water to each batch to achieve desired consistency. Stir in lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Ladle soup into bowls.
  • Fill a pastry or resealable plastic bag with cream. Snip off tip or corner of bag. Draw parallel horizontal lines across each serving of soup, spacing lines as desired.
  • Starting at bottom, drag the tip of a wooden skewer upward through the rows of cream. Starting at top and spacing as desired, drag skewer downward through rows of cream. Repeat, reversing direction every other line. Serve immediately.

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

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so only cook it for a few minutes, or until it's just wilted. Overcooking will make the spinach mushy.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so use a broth that you like the taste of. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water. If you're using water, you may want to add some bouillon cubes or salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add your favorite vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add chopped carrots, celery, onions, or any other vegetables that you like.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for cream of spinach soup include croutons, bacon bits, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Cream of spinach soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With so many variations possible, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love.
