I was at my parents for one of the holidays when my mom whipped up this soup, inspired by something similar she had eaten at a Manhattan cafe. My mom and I often argue about recipes. She is a minimalistic cook, and I like to create unique combinations and use many different spices. In this case, I have to agree with her. Less is definitely more, and the soup tastes rich and buttery while the spinach rounds it out with a little texture. Plan for everyone to have seconds.
All the ingredients assembled
Saute onions until translucent
Add sliced zucchini to pot. It all gets pureed so size doesn’t really matter.
Add enough water to cover the vegetables.
Add fresh spinach to pureed soup.
Cook until spinach is just wilted.
