MAKE IT SHINE!

This is a lovely soup from The Moosewood New Classics. I made it pretty much as written, but I think it has possibilities for other additions - maybe some carrots, or some ham or bacon - but it's very nice as is.

- 10 ounces chopped spinach
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh basil

- 2 cups milk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
directions
- in a soup pot, combine the oil, onions and rosemary.
- cover and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring often.
- add the potatoes, salt and water or stock and bring just to a boil.
- lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes till potatoes are tender.
- with a slotted spoon, remove and set aside 2 cups of the cooked potatoes.

This is pretty easy and quick for a soup. I used half the spinach bcz of the kids and pureed everything together. They still didn't eat much of it, probably bcz of the "stuff" in it. I will probably adopt a couple of ideas from this soup to incorporate into my regular potato soup. I did like it. Thanks!1Reply
