Hearty Cream Of Spinach Soup [Palak Ka Shorba]
Added: 31st May, 2007 | Viewed 549 times | |
This is a great source of iron and antioxidants for toddlers and adults alike. It is simple to make, extremely nutritious and full of hearty, buttery flavour. I use frozen spinach portions for a quicker option, but fresh spinach will work equally well.
 
Preparation Time: 5 mins
Cooking Time: 35 mins
Serves 4
  From My Recipe Book  Vegetarian
Ingredients
   3 frozen spinach portions [or 2 cups freshly chopped spinach]
   1 large potato, boiled, peeled and chopped
   1 large white onion, finely chopped
   700ml chicken stock
   1/4 cup fresh cream
   1 bay leaf
   1 tbsp butter
   freshly ground black pepper
Method

Heat butter in a saucepan. Saute“ onions for 5 minutes. Add potato and spinach. Cook on medium heat for another 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, bay leaf and pepper. Simmer for 25 minutes. Add fresh cream, stir well, remove bay leaf and blend with a hand mixer; while still simmering. Remove from heat and serve hot with crusty bread.


Gel's Notes
  • Go easy on pepper if making for kids.
  • Substitute with low-fat cream for a healthier option.
