Step by step process

Base and cooking

1
Spinach soup starts with the base. Finely chop the onion and garlic and soften them in melted butter. Add the diced potato, fry briefly and pour in the hot vegetable broth.
2
Bring to a boil and cook for about 12 minutes, until the potato is soft. Then stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt only briefly, so it keeps its fresh green colour and does not turn bitter.

Cream and seasoning

3
Take the pot off the heat and blend the soup straight away with an immersion blender until completely velvety and bright green. Stir in the cream, warm it gently, but do not boil, so it does not curdle.
4
If the cream is too thick, pour in a little more broth and warm it briefly. Taste and season with salt, freshly ground pepper and a pinch of nutmeg, which classically pairs with spinach.
5
Ladle into warmed bowls, garnish with a swirl of cream and a few spinach leaves. Serve straight away with toasted bread or crunchy croutons.
