Ingredients

    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp
    Leeks, 1 cup sliced
    *Trader Joe's Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Broth, 4 cup
    Spinach, fresh, 2.5 package (10 oz) (or 1.5 pound)

    *Balsamic Vinegar, 1 tbsp
    Nutmeg, ground, .25 tsp
    Salt, 1 dash

Directions

Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven on medium. Add leeks and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender - about 5 minutes.

Add broth and bring to a simmer. Add spinach and return to a simmer, then reduce heat to maintain simmer. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on types of vegetables used.

Working in batches if necessary, transfer soup to a blender - pulse using puree setting until it reaches a smooth or desired consistency. Or use an imulsion blender.

Add tofu and vinegar and continue blending until creamy. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
