I found/snagged this book from and old box in my Moms basement while we were back home in Kansas. When we returned to Vegas I opened up the book to see if there was anything in there that I could make for dinner with our limited groceries as we tried to eat up a lot of our perishables before we left. This spinach soup was the first recipe I looked at in this book and we actually had all the ingredients, strangely awesome. EXCEPT for the sea salt that I couldn’t find for about 10 minutes of constant searching. I called in J for assistance and we rummaged through every cabinet and drawer in the kitchen. Finally she said to check in the refrigerator, yep. In our mad dash to get to the airport after making pancakes the morning we left for Kansas I must have mindlessly put it in there, sheesh! I also made some mashed potatoes to go along with this which turned out to be a nice little combo. I personally plopped some mashed potatoes in the center of a deep plate and poured the soup around the bottom so I had a little mashed potato island in a sea of spinach soup, it kinda acted as a gravy. The soup was perfect for J because she doesn’t jam with onions unless they are blended up into a puree like in this recipe, it’s a texture thing. It’s a fairly simple soup to make and has a wonderful creamy/buttery earthy taste. J liked the flavor which surprised me since she usually isn’t a huge fan of “too much” spinach. Z, she ate a little here and there but mostly filled up on the potatoes. I of course loved it.
