Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to cook a delicious spinach puree soup with cream? Very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Spinach can be used fresh, frozen or canned. I used frozen spinach. The ratio of spinach and potatoes can be changed to your liking. Cream will suit any fat content. I have 20%. But keep in mind that depending on the cream, the calorie content of the finished dish will change.
Step 2:
If you use frozen spinach, you don't need to defrost it specifically. If the spinach is fresh, rinse it thoroughly, dry it. You can remove the cuttings, leaving only the leaves.
Step 3:
Peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.
Step 5:
Wash, dry and finely chop the dill.
Step 6:
In a thick-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Put the onion and fry in butter until golden brown.
Step 7:
Add the potatoes to the onion and, stirring, fry everything together for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8:
Pour 500 ml of boiling water, bring to a boil and cook the soup over low heat for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are ready.
Step 9:
Lay out the spinach and chopped dill. Season the soup with salt and pepper, add dry garlic, salt and pepper. Cover the pan with a lid, bring to a boil and cook everything together for 5-7 minutes.
Step 10:
Beat the soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
Step 11:
Return the soup to a slow fire. Pour in the cream. Stirring, bring the soup to a boil and immediately remove from the heat. The thickness of the soup can be adjusted to taste by adding more or less cream.
Step 12:
Pour the mashed soup on plates and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
Important! Regardless of whether the amount of water for soup is indicated in the recipe or not, it is best to focus on your own preferences (thick or more liquid soup you like), as well as on the size of your pan and the products taken for cooking. Do not forget that the author has his own view on the amount of meat, potatoes, cereals and other ingredients in the soup, which may not coincide with yours. In practice, this means that if you are cooking for the first time, you should not cook a whole pot at once. Make a soup for tasting - for one or two people. To do this, reduce the amount of all ingredients according to the recipe to 1-2 servings, and take the amount of water from the calculation: from one cup per serving - if the soup is very thick, to 1.5-2 cups - if more liquid. Do not forget to take into account that part of the liquid will boil off during the cooking process. After tasting a small portion of soup, you can adjust both the amount of liquid and the proportions of ingredients to your taste. In the future, like most experienced housewives, you will be able to pour water for soup and lay the ingredients “by eye".
Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
