Steps

30 minutes

1

Clean and wash the spinach. Boil water in a pan. Blanch the spinach until it changes color. Remove it to a bowl with ice-cold water so that it retains its color. Squeeze out the water from the spinach. Keep aside.
2

Heat oil in a saucepan. Add in the bay leaf and cinnamon stick.
3

Add the chopped garlic and saute for a minute.
4

Add in the chopped onions and saute until translucent. Do not brown.
5

Remove from heat and cool. Remove the bay leaf and the cinnamon stick. Add the blanched spinach and blend into a smooth paste.
6

Heat the saucepan again and pour in the puree.
7

Add in the stock. If you don’t have vegetable stock readily available, dissolve two cubes of Maggi Super Seasoning in 2 cups of water.
8

Add in the black pepper powder. Bring to a simmer.
9

Add in a slurry of 2 tbsp cornflour mixed in 2 tbsp of water. You can also use the stock to make the slurry.
10

Once it begins to thicken, add in the cream. Keep it on simmer, do not boil the soup.
11

Check the salt and add more if required. Make sure you don’t boil the soup after adding the cream or it might curdle.
