Soup Recipes: Spinach

250 grams frozen spinach or equal of fresh spinach leaves

1 small onion
1 teaspoon oil
100 ml milk
1 tbsp cream
A little grated cheese for garnish
And/or cheeselings (optional)
1/2 cube of Knorr or Maggie vegetable stock
Salt to taste

Peel onion and chop. Saute onion in oil and add the spinach(if using fresh leaves. Wash the leaves and add to the sauteed onion. Cover the pan and allow the spinach to steam for a few minutes). Turn off the fire. Add milk and blend the all the contents using an electric blender(a hand held one comes in handy for pureeing soups like this as you can directly use it in the pan.)

Mash the stock cube and add to soup. Alsoadd some salt( about half a teaspoonful) and stir. Turn on the flame and bring the soup to boil. Then lower the flame and allow soup to simmer(the longer it simmers the thicker the soup becomes). Just before turning off the flame, add cream and stir. Serve soup hot, garnished with grated cheese and cheeselings.
