CREAM OF SPINACH SOUP
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.

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.
VEGAN CREAM OF SPINACH SOUP
The best thing about this soup? It takes less than half an hour from chopping board to table; and is dead easy. Unlike starchy soups that need about 30-40 minutes to cook through, this soup only needs about 20 minutes. Just chop up your ingredients, bring to the boil, simmer, blend and serve. I can't seem to go past using whole roasted garlic in my soups. It just brings a depth of flavour that is hard to beat. I suppose, if you are on a winning blend - just keep spinning. If you want to really "go green", you can always add in more spinach. But I find this balance of vegetables works well. Once again, I rely on my beloved cashews to cream up this vegan soup. If you have a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix, you will get a soup that is velvety and smooth. Don't worry if you don't have one. You will still get a beautiful tasting result. It just won't be as smooth. You might have some pieces of cashew. But I don't mind that rustic touch.

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:
- Choose fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a sweeter, more vibrant flavor than wilted or frozen spinach. Look for spinach with deep green leaves and no signs of yellowing or wilting.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly. Spinach can harbor dirt and grit, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before using it. Rinse the spinach under cold water, and then use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
- Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked spinach will lose its vibrant color and flavor.
- Use a high-quality vegetable broth. The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a high-quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Season the soup to taste. Don't be afraid to season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices until the soup reaches your desired flavor.
Conclusion:
Vegan cream of spinach soup is a delicious and nutritious soup that's perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With its creamy texture and flavorful taste, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
