Wonderful comfort food from Rozanne Gold, a favorite cookbook author. This is a creamless creamed soup and it's delicious. It's made thick with potatoes and rich with butter. The color of this soup is stunning. Ingredients:
4 cups water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
8 ounces boiling potatoes |
8 ounces fresh spinach leaves, stems removed |
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
coarse salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
garnish of freshly grated nutmeg or shaved parmigiano-reggiano cheese |
Directions:
1. Bring water and salt to a boil; cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, and then into 1/2 thick slices; boil over medium-high heat for twenty minutes.
2. Add the spinach and boil another 10 minutes being careful to not overcook in order to maintain it's bright green color.
3. Drain, reserving 1 1/4 cups cooking liquid; in a food processor, process the potatoes and spinach until very smooth, adding the butter 1/2 T at a time.
4. Return the puree to the pot and add the reserved liquid until the desired consistency; reheat slowly and season with salt and pepper; ladle into shallow soup plates and garnish with nutmeg or shaved cheese.
