Soup Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Spinach and Broth

    Add the fresh spinach leaves to the pot and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper, and bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, be careful with the hot liquid.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the soup hot with your choice of tilapia fish, chicken, or beef on the side.
