Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Onion diced
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 6 cups Spinach packed
- 4 cups Vegetable Broth
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant. This step helps develop the rich base flavor of the soup.
- Add the Broth and Spinach. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, then add the fresh spinach. Stir and let it cook for 3-5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tender.
- Blend Until Smooth. Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a regular blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth, velvety consistency. If using a regular blender, be sure to allow the soup to cool slightly before blending to avoid splattering.
- Add Cream and Seasonings. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream (or milk). Add salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg for added depth. Simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Finish with Lemon Juice. Before serving, stir in a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
- Serve and Enjoy. Ladle the warm spinach soup into bowls, garnish with extra cream, grated Parmesan, or fresh herbs, and serve immediately.
