Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 6 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 0.25 cups heavy cream (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves. Also, dice the onion into small pieces.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach to the pot. Stir the spinach occasionally until it wilts down, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until creamy, then return it to the pot.
Step 6
If using, stir in the heavy cream and mix well. Season the soup with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 7
Serve the soup hot. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on top of each serving for added flavor.
