Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium potato
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 8 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 slices bread
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 peeled and diced potato. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Pour in the 4 cups vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potato is tender, about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the 8 cups fresh spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender. Season with the 1 tsp salt (add more if needed).

  6. 6

    While the soup simmers, cut the 2 bread slices into cubes. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and toast the cubes until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the croutons. Serve hot.
