Spinach Soup

By Za,

When you next head to the market, don't forget to get: 

• Some potatoes (3 medium ones) 
• 1 or 2 onions 
• Yellow split peas (optional, I always like to add either split peas or lentils in my soups, but you could do without) 
• A bunch of spinach 

Method: 


Once you have washed, drained and chopped you spinach, put them in a pan to stir fry. 
Peel your potatoes and cut them into 6 pieces. 
Peel your onions, wash them and cut them in half. 
Put your vegetables to boil (I added a handful of yellow split peas to give that tasty smell and flavour to the soup), then blend them once cooked. 
You'll get a deep amber color. 
Add, then, your portion of spinach (chopped and cooked in a bit of olive oil) and blend everything (enjoy the colour changing to an asparagus green shade) :-D 
If it's too thick, don't add water, add milk instead.  :-) 


I added, to the soup, two tbsp of vermicelli (boiled in water and sieved) and chopped some mushrooms for it too. 
I forgot to add some cheese this time (this soup absolutely loves cheese), therefore, i didn't do it full justice. So, you can either grate some Parmesan,  Cheddar or Gruyere. (in you don't have any, simply chuck some soft cheese i.e. La vache qui rit) 


Bsahatkom - Enjoy - Bon appetit.
