Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Cook Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the pot and cook until wilted, approximately 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  4. Puree Soup: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Be careful while blending hot liquids to avoid splashes.
  5. Add Cottage Cheese and Lemon: Stir in the cottage cheese and lemon juice until fully incorporated, which enriches the soup with creaminess and a slight tang.
  6. Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt and pepper according to taste. Serve the soup hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a thinner soup, add additional vegetable broth or water when blending.
  • Use low-fat cottage cheese for a lighter soup option.
  • Fresh lemon juice enhances the flavor but can be adjusted or omitted based on preference.
  • This soup can be garnished with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.
  • To make it vegan, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative or silken tofu.
