Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 large onion, finely chopped

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 4 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped

• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

• 4 cups vegetable broth

• 1 cup milk or cream (optional for extra creaminess)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• A pinch of nutmeg (optional)

• Fresh cream for garnish (optional)

• Croutons for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Onions and Garlic:

   • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

   • Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.

   • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, ensuring it doesn’t burn.

2. Add the Vegetables and Broth:

   • Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

   • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

   • Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

3. Cook the Spinach:

   • Add the chopped spinach to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and cooked through.

4. Blend the Soup:

   • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending in batches.

   • Return the blended soup to the pot.

5. Add Milk or Cream (Optional):

   • Stir in the milk or cream for extra richness and creaminess. Heat through but do not boil.

   • Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if using.

6. Serve:

   • Ladle the creamy spinach soup into bowls.

   • Garnish with a swirl of fresh cream and serve with croutons on the side, if desired.

Tips for the Best Creamy Spinach Soup:

• Fresh Spinach: Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and nutritional value. Baby spinach can also be used for a milder taste.

• Blending: For a smoother consistency, ensure all vegetables are thoroughly blended. A high-speed blender can help achieve a velvety texture.

• Seasoning: Adjust the seasoning according to your taste. A pinch of nutmeg adds a subtle warmth to the soup.
