Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 8 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 loaf crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream and crumbled feta cheese, allowing the cheese to melt into the soup. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, if using. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread on the side, if desired.
