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.

RAW CREAM OF SPINACH SOUP



Raw Cream of Spinach Soup image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Garlic     Onion     No-Cook     Vegetarian     Spinach     Winter     Chill     Healthy     Escarole     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups fresh tomato and/or carrot juice (from about 1 lb vegetables)
2 cups chopped spinach leaves
2 tablespoons chopped escarole leaves (optional)
1/2 medium California avocado, pitted and peeled
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup packed fresh cilantro
1/4 cup Nama Shoyu* (unpasteurized soy sauce) or 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt (preferably Celtic)
1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
2 tablespoons chopped scallion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon minced fresh jalapeño, including seeds
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
Garnish: 1 small portabella mushroom cap, halved and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Purée vegetable juice, spinach, and escarole (if using) in a blender until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and pulse to combine, leaving some texture.
  • Chill soup, covered, until cold, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Spinach: Choose tender, dark green spinach leaves for the best flavor. Remove any tough stems or wilted leaves.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as chopped carrots, celery, or zucchini. This will add more texture and flavor.
  • Enhance Flavor with Garlic and Onion: Sautéing garlic and onion in butter before adding the spinach will enhance the soup's flavor.
  • Use Vegetable Broth: Vegetable broth provides a delicious base for the soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water, but the flavor will be slightly less rich.
  • Season to Taste: Don't forget to season the soup with salt, pepper, and nutmeg for a well-balanced flavor.
  • Add Cheese for Extra Creaminess: If you desire a creamier soup, stir in some grated Parmesan or cream cheese just before serving.
  • Serve with Crusty Bread or crackers: Cream of spinach soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or crackers for a satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Cream of spinach soup is a delightful and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed as a light lunch or dinner option. With its vibrant green color and creamy texture, this soup is not only visually appealing but also packed with essential vitamins and minerals.
