Spinach & potato soup

Warm, comforting, and nutritious, Spinach & Potato Soup is a simple yet delightful dish that brings together the earthiness of potatoes and the vibrant flavor of spinach. It's a perfect meal to enjoy on a chilly day, enriched with the aromatic touch of cumin and the savory notes of sautéed leek and garlic.

Ingredients:

1 leek
180g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
4 cups vegetable broth
920g
2 cups water
500g
2 potatoes
400g
4 cups spinach
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Clean the leek thoroughly, as they often contain dirt and grit. Cut off the root end and the dark green tops, leaving only the white and light green parts. Slice the leek thinly.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into small, even-sized cubes.
- Rinse the spinach if needed.
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leek to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the leek is soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
3. Add the Spices and Liquid:
- Stir in the ground cumin and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and water, and stir to combine.
4. Cook the Potatoes:
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
5. Add the Spinach:
- Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the fresh spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the spinach has wilted.
6. Blend the Soup:
- Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth. Be careful as the soup will be very hot.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your comforting and nutritious Spinach & Potato Soup!

Tips:

- Slice the leek thinly and rinse it thoroughly to remove any grit or dirt that might be trapped between the layers.

- Use a good quality vegetable broth for a richer flavor. Homemade broth will enhance the taste even further.

- Cut the potatoes into small, even-sized cubes to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.

- Blend the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier soup, use a hand masher. For a smoother texture, use a blender.

- Add the spinach at the end and cook it just until wilted to preserve its vibrant color and nutrients.

- Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper at the end of cooking to adjust the seasoning perfectly.

This Spinach & Potato Soup is the epitome of a cozy, nutritious meal. With its blend of wholesome ingredients and straightforward preparation, it can easily become a staple in your recipe collection. Serve it hot and enjoy the creamy, flavorful goodness!
