Satiny, smooth spinach and potato soup
Velouté d'épinards et de pommes de terre onctueux et satiné
The challenge this week is to develop a recipe for a savoury, green soup. Green is so much a vegan color, isn’t it - it equates to health, life and vitality. Nevertheless, it’s hard to make green food look good even if it tastes great. (Haha the pictures on this post attest to that).
The classic combination of spinach, potatoes and leeks came to mind as a delicious option, but the recipe needed a bit of oomph. So, I added coriander, spring onions and chilli, which really seemed to set off the flavours rather nicely. I’m pleased with the result and my family approved (they are my best critics. Haha).
Serve this soup with savoury muffins or garlic rolls.
Ingredients
_3 medium potatoes
_ 3 medium leeks
_ 1 small carrot
_ 1 onion
_ 4-5 spring onions
_ handful of fresh coriander
_ 6-8 fresh spinach leaves
_ 2-3 stalks of ribbed celery
_ 1 ½ stock cubes
_ chilli flakes (optional)
_ 3 ½ litres of water
_ oil for sautéing
Method
Roughly chop the onions, leeks and celery. Sweat in a little oil for 5-7 minutes over low heat.
Peel and roughly chop the carrot and potatoes. Rib the spinach and dice.
Add the carrot, potatoes and spinach to the pot and sweat for 5 minutes over low heat.
Add the water, stock cubes, salt and pepper to the pot and boil until the potatoes are tender.
Cool and blend until smooth. Return to the heat. Add the chilli flakes, spring onions and coriander to the pot a minute before serving. Adjust seasoning and serve with savoury muffins or rolls.
I’m asking @samsmith1971 and @mypathtofire to join in on the fun

That looks a delicious and tasty soup. I love potatoes and leek in soup. This is a nice filling but light meal option for the summer!!!! Great work!

Thank you for the kind offer. I usually do my vegan food post once per month. I joined the community earlier and I will for sure post here next time. 🙂❤️
Delish and easy! I like the toppings, they make it look fancy - and haha to the title, that certainly makes it more appealing too!
Haha, plantpoweronhive said to give the recipe a fancy name, so…
🤗❤️💕
Full elegance!
Ahhhhhhhhhh thank you
Well you totally nailed it!
Total elegance!
This looks so yum... love the addition of chilli and herbs... I need to go buy some tatties to make this one! Maybe another day...feeling super lazy...It's 31 degrees C and still feeling beach-tired after yesterday... well done!!!
WoW, that’s really hot! You need ice not soup. Haha🤗❤️💕
Hopefully it's cooler and you go out to buy the ingredients to make an original green soup.
What elegance of France! hahahahaha @itsostylish; what a good and original title. This recipe has been great, delicious, with a great pint and the step by step is well explained. The use of potatoes gives a lot of body to the preparation and those chili flakes are the touch of contrast in color and flavor that accentuates the dish.
Accompanying it with toasted bread is a very special touch. Thank you for participating in the vegan challenge. Greetings.

It’s French. Plantpoweronhive said we had to choose a fancy name for our recipe. Haha 😂

That looks verrrrry healthy 😲... But I'm a meat lover and you can be sure that if I cook that, I'll ruin it with a lot of chicken 😂... Sorry. I'd like to have a taste no lie
I haven’t eaten meat for more than 17 years, and I can honestly say that I’ve never felt that I was missing out. Meatless meals can be more flavourful than anything else, you’ve just got to try it with an open mind. Haha, but I’m not preaching my lifestyle, I don’t even do that with my family - I just trick them into believing that they’re eating meat when, actually, they’re not. Haha 😂
Really? You can do that? My cousin would kill me🤣... And I do understand the appeal of vegan meals! I went Vegan for three years...I nearly died!😂 But I loved how simple everything seemed to be and how vibrant it made me... Question is...how do i continue without dying?🤣
I really like spinach and your soup looks delicious. Blessings
I could eat this for breakfast lunch and supper. Oh and midnight snack haha. Looks divine and I wish I had a bowl right now. I love that you topped with chili flakes.😋
