Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 6 cups fresh spinach leaves, packed
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 5

Add the spinach leaves to the pot and stir until they wilt, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 8

Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer for 2–3 minutes, but do not let it boil.
