Cream of Spinach Soup is a delicious way to enjoy the benefits of leafy greens in a creamy, comforting form whether you're making it for a quick weeknight dinner or a light, creamy soup, this soup is a delicious way to enjoy.
In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add the spinach and blanch it for just a minute. To stop the cooking process, extract the spinach from the water and immediately submerge it in a bowl of cold water.
After draining, mix the spinach until it's smooth. On a pan, melt the butter over a medium-high flame. Sauté the cut garlic until it becomes aromatic.
To make a roux, add the flour to the garlic and butter mixture and stir constantly.
Add the ground spinach a little at a time, stirring thoroughly to combine. Pour in the milk and water, stirring regularly to avoid lumps.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a moderate boil.
Stir in the cream and continue cooking until the creamed spinach achieves the desired consistency.
Once done, transfer the creamed spinach to a serving dish and garnish with a dollop of sour cream for an extra creamy finish.
There you have it, a creamy and flavorful Creamed Spinach ready to be enjoyed.
