Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh spinach leaves
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 large potato, peeled and diced
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach leaves to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced potato. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potato is tender.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender to carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender, ensuring you vent the lid to prevent steam build-up.

Step 8

Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a countertop blender) and add the ground nutmeg, black pepper, and salt.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream and heat the soup gently, being careful not to bring it to a boil, for 3-4 minutes until warmed through.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving hot.
