Equipment

  • large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 1 ½ lb potatoes, diced (675 grams)
  • 2 ¼ cup low sodium vegetable broth (540 ml)
  • 1 cup milk (240 ml)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (30 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt or to taste
  • teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 oz baby spinach (120 grams)

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add the garlic, herbs, paprika and cook for an extra minute until the onion is coated and smells good.
  • Stir in the cubed potatoes and broth, bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the milk and flour in a separate jug or cup.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, add the flour and milk slurry and soy sauce. Stir until the liquid in the pot comes back up to a simmer and starts to thicken (it takes about 2 minutes).
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking (I add 1 teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper, about ⅛ tsp).
  • Finally, add the spinach to the pot, a handful at a time, and cook stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and still bright green.
  • Serve immediately while it's still hot. Enjoy with crusty bread or croutons and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if you desired.

Notes

This soup keeps well in the fridge for about 3 days in an airtight container. However, since it contains flour, it gets quite thick when refrigerated, but you can add a splash of water or milk to thin it out when it's time to reheat it. It freezes well too.
