Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 3 medium, peeled and cubed russet potatoes
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 6 cups, packed fresh spinach leaves
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoons or to taste salt
• 0.5 teaspoons or to taste black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons (optional) nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and stir to coat them in the oil and aromatics.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Add the spinach leaves to the pot and stir until they wilt, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender to puree, then return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Heat the soup gently over low heat without bringing it to a boil.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.

Step 10

Serve the soup warm with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper, if desired. Enjoy!
