CREAM OF SPINACH SOUP 
1/2 lb. fresh spinach, stems removed
6 tbsp. butter
1 c. chopped onion
4 med. potatoes, peeled & quartered, about 3 c.)
2 c. chicken stock
2 c. water
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 c. heavy cream

Rinse the spinach and shred it with a knife. Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan and cook the onion until wilted. Add the spinach, potatoes, stock and water and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.

Put the soup through a sieve or place in blender until smooth. If using a blender, do small quantities because steam from the hot liquid can force the lid off the blender.

Salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cream. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and swirl in remaining butter. Serve immediately.

Cream of Spinach Soup

I made this recipe last night for my boyfriend's family who never eat vegetables let alone anything with flavor (they're cold chicken and tomatoes people, for supposed stomach issues, but I think they're just boring). They obliged me and ate it an loved it! I liked it myself, and will do again, but my only advice is make sure to cook the potatoes completely!! Cut them very small and cook until near mushy, because my soup they were cooked until soft but even after the processor chunky bits of potato remained. Good, easy and yummy processor. Next time I will use fewer potatoes because 3 is a little much for my liking.

Even my kids liked it's mild flavor, and bright green color. Comfort food at it's best. Could be made healthier probably. Suggestions?

Loved this recipe. I modified the recipe by cooking the spinach separately and added the drained pureed spinach to the pureed potato/onion mix before adding the cream. This made the soup not so green, which I like better.

Great recipe! I used a can of spinach instead of fresh and did not puree the spinach. Also, followed the suggestion to add the spinach last. The soup was wonderful with pieces of spinach in every spoonful.
