Spinach and Potato Soup
This hearty, veggie-filled soup packs tons of flavor and is ready in just 35 minutes. It's the perfect cozy warm-up meal and the best way to use up your veggies!
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
- 3- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, chopped
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 large carrots
- 6 cups vegetable broth or stock
- 1 cup small noodle such as orzo
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 ½ tsp oregano
- 1 tsp Vegan chicken salt
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cube Vegan chicken boullion
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Peel and chop the carrots and onion, and toss them into a large stock pot with all of the spices and a bit of olive oil. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the onion begins to soften.
- Add the vegetable broth and bay leaves and bring the pot to a boil.
- While waiting for the broth to boil, peel and chop the potatoes. Add them to the pot once the liquid is boiling and let it boil for 10 minutes. You can either add the orzo at this time or cook it separately and add it in the final step.
- Once the pot has boiled for 10 minutes, insure the potatoes are fork-tender. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh spinach.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If you cook the noodles right in the broth, just know that your broth will be a bit starchier and thicker once stored in the fridge. This doesn't change the flavor of the soup at all, but you may want to thin it out with some more broth when reheating.
- If you are using frozen spinach, do not remove the pot from heat in step 4, but lower the pot to a simmer and stir in the frozen spinach while it is still over heat for about 1-2 minutes.
- Not Vegan? Use chicken or beef broth and/or bouillon cubes instead of vegetable. Add shredded rotisserie chicken. Serve with parmesan cheese.
- Gluten-Free? Use a gluten-free noodle or swap the noodle out with rice.
- Want more protein? Add a can of rinsed and drained cannellini beans or chickpeas.
