- Spinach Soup
-
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, minced
- 3 pounds fresh spinach, stemmed
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups low fat milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Thin slice of lemon and minced chives, for garnish
-
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the onion
- and reduce the heat to low. Cook until softened but not browned, about
- 10 minutes.
-
- Increase heat to moderate and add the spinach leaves by the handful,
- stirring to wilt them before adding the next handful. When all the
- spinach has been added, cook for about 1 minute to completely soften
- the spinach.
-
- In a food processor, puree the soup in batches until smooth. Return
- the soup to the pan and stir in the stock and milk. Simmer over moderate
- heat until heated through. Season with the salt and pepper. Serve in
- soup bowls, garnished with a slice of lemon and a sprinkling of chives.
