Dairy-Free Spinach Soup
4 servings
Ingredients
- 10 oz fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 3 tbsp corn starch
- Dash of ground nutmeg
- Salt to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Directions
- Wash spinach thoroughly. Drain and chop coarsely.
- Heat olive oil and sauté onion in a large saucepan until golden brown.
- Add stock and spinach, and bring to a boil. Cook until spinach is tender. Blend with a hand held blender until smooth.
- Put two tablespoons of flour into a small bowl and add just enough warm to dissolve the flour. Use a small whisk to mix flour with water until you have a runny paste. Add half a cup of warm water to the bowl and mix. Pour mixture into saucepan and whisk to blend thoroughly.
- Let simmer on low to medium heat for a few minutes, until thickened. Season with nutmeg and salt. Remove from heat.
- Pour soup into serving bowls and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
