Spinach Soup with Basil and Dill
 
 
This is a delicious and very flavorful soup from Color Me Vegan. I'm not typically a big fan of dill, but it tastes great combined with the basil and spinach. It's also very simple to make. Even during the summer, I think this soup would be ideal to make because of the abundance of fresh herbs.

Ingredients
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 med onions, chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 C vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1-1/2 fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ C fresh dill
  • 8 fresh basil leaves, minced
  • ½ C nondairy milk
  • 1-3 Tbs agave
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • Black pepper
  • Optional: vegan sour cream
Directions
  1. In a large soup pot, combine the onions, potatoes, garlic, broth, and salt and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  2. In a food processor or blender, puree the soup with the spinach, dill, and basil. I had to do this in two batches. Blend until smooth. Return it to the soup pot and add the milk, agave, and ½ the lemon (add more if needed).
  3. Warm the soup up, but don't bring it to a boil. Season with salt and pepper and serve with a dollop of sour cream on top! Enjoy!
