Yield: 4 2/3 cups (236g)
Serving size: 1 cup
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. (14.2g) unsalted butter
- 1/2 small onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup (190g) fresh/frozen chopped spinach, cooked
- 1 cup (238g) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (28.35g) freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups (480g) chicken broth/stock
- 1/16 tsp. (0.13g) ground nutmeg
- 4 oz (113.4g) cream cheese cubed
- salt and pepper
Directions:
- Using a four-quart (3.79 liters) saucepan or soup pot, sautee the onions and garlic in the butter until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the stock and half the spinach to the pan. Simmer for five minutes.
- Add the Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, cream cheese, and nutmeg to the simmering soup.
- Mix well until the cheeses have melted into the soup.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the hot soup carefully. (If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can blend the soup in small batches in a regular blender. To do this, let the soup cool a little and be careful not to fill the blender more than 1/3 of the way each time. It’s also a good idea to remove the center cap from the blender’s lid to avoid a pressure build-up which can cause the hot soup to splash up and burn you. To avoid splatters, you can lay a thick clean towel across the opening and avoid putting your hand on the top of the blender while it’s running.)
- Add the remaining spinach to the pureed soup, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for another five minutes.
- Serve immediately.
