Cream of Spinach Soup
Makes: 4 servings
Time: 25 Minutes
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons Olive Oil, divided
- 1/2 Cup Chives, chopped, fresh
- 5 Ounces Package Baby Spinach, organic
- 1/3 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 2 Teaspoons Curry Powder
- 1 Cup Sour Cream or Plain Greek Yogurt
- 4 Cups Veggie Broth
- Salt and Pepper
- Croutons
Directions
In a medium soup pot, saute 3 tablespoons of oil with chives and spinach until spinach wilts. Remove mixture to a bowl.
Mix flour and curry powder together.
In the same pot, add 3 more tablespoons of olive oil. Add the flour mixture stirring to form a roux.
Carefully add the broth, a little at a time, and stir until mixture is smooth.
Using a ladle, scoop about 1/2 cup of the soup mixture out and mix with the sour cream or yogurt until smooth.
Add the spinach mixture back to the pot and blend again if you prefer a smooth soup.
Add the sour cream mixture at the very end and stir until well-blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add extra water, as needed, for preferred soup consistency.
Heat soup thoroughly and serve with crunchy croutons on top.
