Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 6 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup croutons or fresh bread (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the diced potato and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Step 5

Cook the potato for 10-12 minutes, or until it is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Add the fresh spinach leaves to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts and turns bright green.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Let the bisque simmer over low heat for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed. Stir in the lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.

Step 10

Serve the spinach bisque hot, garnished with croutons or fresh bread if desired.
