Ingredients

• 6 cups fresh spinach
• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 pinch nutmeg

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the ingredients: peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.

2. 2

   In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

3. 3

   Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Pour in 4 cups of vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

5. 5

   Add the fresh spinach to the pot, stirring until wilted, which should take about 3 minutes.

6. 6

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.

7. 7

   Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, and season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Heat through for another 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of cream or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
