Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 3 stalks celery, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 cups potatoes, diced
- 1 cup corn
- 2 cups spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, add the diced potatoes and corn. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the soup cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- After the potatoes are cooked, stir in the spinach and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and tender.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together even more.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your hearty Hedgis Winter Weekend Soup!
Tips
- Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture. If possible, choose organic produce to enhance the soup's nutritional value.
- Don't rush the sautéing process—letting the onions, carrots, and celery develop their natural sweetness is key to a rich-tasting soup.
- For a protein boost, consider adding diced chicken, beans, or tofu to make the soup even more filling.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, you can blend a portion of the soup or add a splash of heavy cream before serving.
- This soup freezes beautifully! Make a large batch and store portions for quick, easy meals throughout the winter.
- Experiment with herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley for additional depth of flavor.
- Serve with crusty bread or croutons for a complete and satisfying meal.
