Master the art of a vibrant, silky spinach soup in minutes
In short: J. Kenji López-Alt demonstrates a straightforward method for creating a refined spinach soup. By focusing on technique and timing, this recipe transforms simple pantry staples into a bright, smooth, and flavorful dish that highlights the natural qualities of fresh greens.
The process begins by softening chopped yellow onion and leeks in melted butter, ensuring they remain translucent rather than browned. After adding garlic and a small amount of flour to build body, the mixture is combined with one quart of chicken or vegetable stock. The soup is brought to a simmer until thickened, providing a stable base for the fresh spinach and parsley.
The final stage requires careful blending to achieve a perfectly smooth consistency. By starting the blender at low speed and gradually increasing to high, the greens are fully incorporated. Straining the mixture through a fine mesh sieve ensures a refined texture, while a final touch of lemon juice and seasoning balances the flavors before serving.
