Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (about 1.5 lbs) Russet potatoes
- 4 cups (packed) Fresh spinach
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 cup Fat-free plain Greek yogurt (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, approximately 1-inch pieces.
Roughly chop the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the fresh spinach to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, allow the soup to cool slightly and transfer it in batches to a countertop blender, blending until smooth.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
