Description
Easy creamy spinach soup is a quick and healthy meal. It is ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced; ~1 cup)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 lb Fresh spinach (or 10 oz frozen spinach)
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Heavy cream (or half and half, or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free and vegan option)
- Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and saute for 5-6 minutes, until soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic and saute for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the spinach, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes. (The spinach will be fully wilted and tender around 4-5 minutes. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes after this point.)
- Remove the spinach soup from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. (Alternatively, you can blend in a regular blender, working in batches if necessary, and then return the soup to the pot.)
- Stir in the heavy cream. Adjust salt and pepper to taste if needed.
- If you like, garnish with additional heavy cream and fresh chives.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
- Adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
