- Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
1 package (10 oz) fresh spinach4 potatoes, quartered & boiled (preserve water)3 large baby zucchini3 cloves garlic10 basil leaves4 cups chicken brothsalt to taste
boil potatoes (preserve water)
steam spinach briefly, until soft
steam or saute zucchini
Puree spinach in a blender. You may need to add liquid to the blender for it to blend properly. This is what the chicken broth is for. Use broth as needed. Pour into a large soup pot.
Repeat the step with the zucchini, garlic, potatoes, and basil (in batches). Continue adding remainder of chicken broth. When this runs out, use the water from the potatoes (or from steaming the veggies) as this water is very nutrient-rich.
Add salt to taste.
My mom used to make this soup for me to disguise the vegetables. She always garnished the top with a slice of cheddar that had been cut with a cookie cutter into the shape of a heart, star, or dinosaur. Oddly enough, I was so thrilled by the cheese design as a kid that I never stopped to think I was eating vegetables.
