Potato Florentine Soup image

This is a lovely soup from The Moosewood New Classics. I made it pretty much as written, but I think it has possibilities for other additions - maybe some carrots, or some ham or bacon - but it's very nice as is.

Categories     Potato

Time 50m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (I used Italian seasoning)
4 cups diced potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups water or 4 cups vegetable stock
10 ounces chopped spinach
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup neufchatel cheese
1/2-3/4 cup grated Fontina cheese (or parmesan or sharp cheddar, I used a combination of all three)
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • in a soup pot, combine the oil, onions and rosemary.
  • cover and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • add the potatoes, salt and water or stock and bring just to a boil.
  • lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes till potatoes are tender.
  • with a slotted spoon, remove and set aside 2 cups of the cooked potatoes.
  • to the soup pot, add the spinach, basil and parsley, cover and cook for 1 or 2 minutes till spinach is wilted but still bright green.
  • in a blender, puree the reserved potatoes with the neufchatel, grated cheese, milk and pepper.
  • stir the puree back into the soup and reheat gently - adjust seasonings to taste.

This soup was a disaster! It was burnt and tasted terrible. I'm never making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out really watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was too thick for my taste. I had to add some extra milk to thin it out.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper, but it still didn't have much flavor.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really wow me either.
