Spinach and Potato Soup Recipe: Silky and Bright Green

Ben Goshawk
A silky, bright green spinach and potato soup that takes about 30 minutes. The potato gives it body once blended, and a short simmer keeps the spinach tasting fresh. Finish with a drizzle of cream and a little finely grated nutmeg.
