Spinach Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb spinach
• 1 large onion
• Salt and pepper
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 medium lemon
• 1 pint vegetable stock
• ¼ pint yogurt

Method:

1. Wash and drain the spinach and remove any coarse stalks. Coarsely chop or shred.
2. Peel and chop the onion and put the spinach into a pan with the onion, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Grate in the rind of half of the lemon and then squeeze in the juice from both parts. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to the boil, cover, reduce the heat and simmer on a low heat for about 10 minutes.
3. Pour the contents of the pan into a blender/liquidiser and blend until smooth.
4. Return to the pan and stir in the yogurt. Re-heat but do not boil.

Serves 4 – Can be eaten hot or chilled. For a more luxurious soup, use creme fraiche instead of yogurt (but it does put the cost up).
