Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min

Tools:
Large pot
Vegetable steamer
Immersion blender or food processor

Ingredients:
1 large container (16 oz.) fresh, organic spinach (you can substitute frozen, but it won’t be as fabulous).
1 large organic russet potato
1/8 tsp nutmeg or to taste
white pepper (black pepper is ok too) – to taste
salt – to taste

Directions:

1. Place the large pot on the stove, add 4 cups of water or low sodium vegetable or chicken broth. If you want vegan soup, use water or vegetable broth.

3. Place potato slices in the large pan then add the steamer to the pot.

4. Place the spinach in the steamer, put a lid on the pot, turn heat on medium.

5. Allow the spinach to steam, the boiling water will cook the potato.

6. Once the spinach is steamed, pop the steamer and check the potato, it should be soft.

7. Remove the steamer basket, please the spinach and potato in the food processor. Add about 1 cup of liquid.

8. Blend and add nutmeg (about 1/8 tsp or to taste), salt and white pepper.

10. Serve with a few shavings of fresh carrot (for color), a dollop of yogurt or sour cream and serve!

You can serve this with a nice chunk of fresh bread, a bit of grated cheese or my favorite – a grilled cheese sandwich made with organic sharp cheddar cheese on dark rye or pumpernickel bread. Yum. Warm up, fill up and enjoy this delicious soup today!
