Spinach is rich in iron and has long been associated with strength due to its high nutritional content, famously popularized by the cartoon character Popeye.
Ingredients You'll Need
16 oz fresh spinach leaves, washed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth, low sodium
1 medium-sized potato, peeled and diced
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream, divided
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Croutons or toasted bread, for serving (optional)
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced potato and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth, increase the heat to bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the potato is tender.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches), purée the mixture until smooth.
Return to the pot and stir in nutmeg, 3/4 cup of heavy cream, salt, and pepper to taste.
Heat through gently over low heat but do not boil.
Serve topped with a drizzle of the remaining cream and optional croutons or toasted bread.
