    Spinach as a Healthy Soup Ingredient:

    In this recipe, I used fresh baby spinach leaves. However, frozen spinach can also be used as an alternative. This dark leafy green is important for your skin, hair, and bone health. It also provides protein, iron, vitamins, and minerals.

    Which Potato to Use in Creamy Soups:

    I highly recommend using Yukon potatoes for this recipe. Other potatoes like Russet and red potatoes can also be used. Yukon gold potatoes are slightly sweet with a smooth and slightly waxy texture. They are incredibly versatile and inexpensive.

    Yukon potatoes are great for roasting, baking, mashing, soups, and chowders.

    Heavy Cream or Alternatives:

    I added the heavy cream to thicken the soup, and to add a rich, milky flavor. As I mentioned above, this soup tastes delicious with or without heavy cream.

    Spinach Potato Soup (Creamy and Gluten-Free)

    Other dairy options like crème frâiche, half n half or sour cream can also be used as a replacement ingredient. Alternatively, you can replace the heavy cream with a combination of milk and cornstarch. For example, replace 1 cup of heavy cream with a cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.

    Ingredients
     

    • 12 oz fresh baby spinach
    • 3 tablespoon butter
    • 1½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes, (chopped coarsely or thin sliced)
    • 1 cup diced onion
    • 2 garlic cloves, (minced)
    • 2½ cups broth

    • salt, (to taste)
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • ¾ cup heavy cream

    optional:

    • ½ cup loosely packed freshly grated cheddar cheese , (for serving)

    Instructions
     

    • Melt butter in a large saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat; cook the onion for about 4 minutes and keep stirring. Add garlic and keep stirring until the onion softens.
    • Add potatoes, broth, and water to the pan; bring to a boil.
    • Reduce the heat, simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes or longer or until the potatoes are tender.
    • Open the lid, add extra broth if needed. Stir in spinach and cook until it's wilted. Turn off the heat.

      Yay! Another delicious soup recipe that I can make for the family. Spinach is a staple in our house, but I have not made soup like this before. Looks so good I can't wait to try making it.

      I didn't have any cream, but did have some ricotta cheese which I blended with whole milk. I also used white potatoes as I like to cook them with the skin on. I didn't blend this soup. We like chunky soup. I had some red pepper in the fridge so I diced that and added that. I love soups like this that you can be creative with. It was delicious and goes into the "do this again" file.
