CREAM OF YAM AND SPINACH SOUP



Cream of Yam and Spinach Soup image

Adapted from the Louisiana Sweet Potato commission, this recipe is packed with healthy ingredients. A cream soup with no cream, no butter; just flat out good for you. I used King Arthur's "white" whole wheat flour to pack in a bit more nutritional punch. My local Safeway is carrying this flour now. This colorful soup is very mild; if you want to kick it up with some heat, go right ahead. Mr. B does not like spicy; when he tried this soup he gave it two thumbs up. Note--I use bagged baby spinach and don't bother to remove the stems.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 (14 ounce) cans vegetarian broth
3 cups fresh yams, large dice
1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach leaves, stemmed and coarsely chopped
2 cups skim milk
1/2 cup sliced green onion stems
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk in the flour and gradually add the broth, whisking until soup is blended.
  • Add the yams and bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low, or a slow simmer. Cook approximately 20 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender.
  • Add the spinach, milk, green onions, salt and pepper (I didn't measure, but guesstimate that I used between 1/2 and 3/4 teaspoons salt).
  • Turn the heat back up to medium. Cook until spinach is wilted and soup well heated and thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Hope you enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. For this soup, Yukon Gold or russet potatoes work best. They have a creamy texture that will hold up well in the soup.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they can be easily pierced with a fork.
  • Use good quality bacon. The bacon is what gives this soup its smoky flavor, so don't skimp on the quality. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of fat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bacon. If you do, the bacon will steam instead of fry, and it won't be as crispy.
  • Add the spinach at the end of cooking. Spinach cooks very quickly, so you don't want to add it to the soup until the very end. Otherwise, it will overcook and become mushy.

Conclusion:

Potato and yam soup with bacon and spinach is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. For example, you can add more or less bacon, depending on how smoky you like your soup. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots or celery. No matter how you make it, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
