Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (13.5 ounce) can spinach, drained
3 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons warm water
1 teaspoon white sugar
3 tablespoons peanuts
salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
3 serrano peppers

Steps:

  • In the container of a food processor or blender, combine half of the spinach with the buttermilk. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan, and stir in the rest of the spinach. Stir together the cornstarch and water; mix into the saucepan along with the sugar, peanuts (see Cook's Note), and salt. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, and when they begin to sizzle, stir in the serrano peppers. (You can slice the peppers in two for added flavor and spiciness--or use fewer chiles, if desired.) When the peppers begin to soften slightly, scrape the contents of the pepper pan into the buttermilk mixture.
  • Bring the buttermilk mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat immediately, and serve hot.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra seasonings, such as garlic, onion, and black pepper, and it improved the flavor significantly.

This was a delicious and healthy soup. The spinach and buttermilk made it creamy and flavorful, and the nutmeg added a nice warm spice. I served it with a side salad and some crusty bread, and it was a perfect meal.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen spinach, which worked just as well as fresh. The buttermilk gave the soup a nice tang, and the addition of nutmeg was a nice touch. I will definitely be making this again.

I've tried many spinach soups before, but this one is by far the best. The buttermilk adds a tangy creaminess that perfectly complements the spinach. I served it with a side of crusty bread for dipping, and it was a hit with my family.

This soup was a delightful surprise! The combination of spinach and buttermilk created a creamy, flavorful broth that was both comforting and refreshing. I added a bit of garlic and onion to the recipe, which gave it an extra layer of flavor. Will de
