This hearty vegan spinach soup is always a real suprise! It may look super simple but it's actually a flavor explosion in the mouth. It is made with fresh spinach, potatoes and white beans. Adding a splash of white wine and using qualitative vegetable broth makes all the difference. Overall, it's high in fiber and in protein and makes a wonderful weeknight meal. If you like soups that still have some bits and pieces, this one is for you!
Key ingredients
Step-by-step with pictures
Cut the vegetables. Start by mincing the onion very finely. Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Make sure they are not too big, as small pieces will cook more quickly.
Sauté the onion. Add the onion to a large pot or Dutch oven. Sauté it in a little bit of oil until soft.
Add the potatoes to the pot. Stir well to coat the potatoes with oil. Sauté them for several minutes until lightly colored. Deglaze with white wine and let it cook for 2 minutes until it's evaporated. This step will make the soup very flavorful.
Cover the potatoes with broth. Simmer the soup with a lid on it until the potatoes are cooked.
Wash the spinach and drain the white beans. When the potatoes are cooked, add in the spinach and cover with a lid again. Wait several minutes until the spinach is wilted. Finally, add in the white beans and give it a good stir.
