Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 This is very good! I love how creamy it is, and how wonderful the house smelled while it was cooking. My partner liked it so much, she wants us to make it for dinner again tonight! I added a dried chipotle last night. I think tonight I'll throw in some cannellini beans. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe, Dojay!

Stir and sauté for about 5 minutes. If using fresh spinach, remove any large stems. Wash thoroughly. Add leaf spinach to pan; stir well. Lower heat and cover. Allow all vegetables to steep until spinach is wilted and partially cooked. If using frozen leaf spinach, cooking will take a bit longer. Add broth with oregano and bring to a low boil. > Gently cook, covered, 20 to 25 minutes. Using 1-1/2 cups at a time, blend soup mixture in blender or food processor** until smooth. Return entire soup mixture to pan and reheat. Soup will be a rich green color. > Just before serving, add 1 3/4 cups diced tomato and heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired. Tomato should be hot but not truly cooked. To serve, ladle hot soup into warm bowls and garnish with an optional dollop of sour cream or vegan plain yogurt and reserved diced tomatoes. Serve hot.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Glad you liked it Mo. I have been busy and very behind in joining in with the group. I have several more recipes I'm going to be posting. Hope you find another to try out. This soup is even better the next day if there's any left.
