Spinach and Feta Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 6 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup milk or cream (optional for added creaminess)
• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

Sauté Aromatics:

1. Sauté Onion and Garlic:
   • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent. Add minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cook Potatoes:

2. Add Diced Potato:
   • Add the diced potato to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
3. Pour Broth:
   • Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, ensuring that it covers the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Season and Simmer:

4. Season with Herbs:
   • Season the soup with dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
5. Simmer Soup:
   • Allow the soup to simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Add Spinach and Feta:

6. Add Spinach:
   • Stir in the chopped fresh spinach. Let the spinach wilt in the hot soup, which should only take a few minutes.
7. Add Feta and Optional Cream:
   • Add the crumbled feta cheese to the pot. If desired, pour in milk or cream for added creaminess. Stir until the feta is melted and the soup has a creamy consistency.

Adjust Seasoning and Serve:

8. Adjust Seasoning:
   • Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to suit your taste.
9. Serve Hot:
   • Ladle the Spinach and Feta Soup into bowls. Optionally, serve with a wedge of lemon on the side for a touch of brightness.

Notes:

• Creamy Variation: If you prefer a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender or in a regular blender before adding the spinach and feta.
• Garnish Options: Garnish the soup with additional crumbled feta and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill.
• Bread Pairing: Serve the soup with crusty bread or croutons for a delightful combination.

This Spinach and Feta Soup is a flavorful and comforting dish that combines the earthy taste of spinach with the richness of feta cheese. It’s a perfect choice for a light and satisfying meal, especially during colder seasons.
