Ingredients

30 mins
4 servings
  1. 1 poundspinach, well washed, thick stems trimmed
  2. 3spring onions, trimmed & roughly chopped
  3. 3 cupschicken or vegetable stock
  4. Small grating of nutmeg
  5. Salt and pepper
  6. 1 cupheavy or light cream, half-and-half or milk

Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Place trimmed spinach and chopped spring onions in a large saucepan.

  2. 2

    And stock to the saucepan and turn heat to medium high. Bring to a boil, and lower heat so mixture barely bubbles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is very tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Turn off heat, add nutmeg and a sprinkling of salt and pepper, and let cool at least a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour soup into a blender, in batches if necessary, and carefully purée. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pan which is what I do when blending soups.) Return to pan, add cream, and over medium-low heat, reheat gently, stirring occasionally. When soup is hot, adjust seasoning, and serve.

  5. 5

    Garnish with a few pieces of the chopped onions or a swirl of cream (optional).
