Quantity Ingredient
4 Green onions, chopped
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 large Baking potato, peeled and diced (about 1 ½ cups)
1/8 tsp Ground nutmeg
1 ½ cups Reduced sodium – vegetable or chicken broth
1 pkg (227g) Baby spinach
1 cup Frozen green peas, thawed
2 cups 1 % milk
2 tbsp. Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Pepper To taste
¼ cup Low-fat sour cream
3 tbsp. Fresh chives, chopped

Method

  1. In a medium pot, combine green onions, garlic, potato nutmeg and broth and bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and boil for 5-10 minutes or until the potatoes are almost tender.
  3. Stir spinach and peas into the soup. Cover and boil for about 5 minutes, or until the spinach is tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender in the pot, or transfer to a blender in batches. Puree until smooth.
  5. Return the soup to the pot, add the milk and heat over low heat, stirring for 2-3 minutes until steaming. Do not let it boil.
  6. Drizzle in lemon juice, stirring constantly. Season with pepper to taste.
