SPINACH AND FETA SOUP
Steps:
- In a stockpot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and sauté for an additional 5 minutes. Add the stock and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Add the nutmeg and spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts into the soup. Remove from the heat. Purée the soup in the pot using a hand blender, or in batches with a regular blender, until smooth. Stir in the cream, cheese, pine nuts, salt and pepper. Return the pot to the stove and simmer an additional 5 minutes. Garnish each serving with crumbled feta cheese and a few toasted pine nuts. Servings: 10.
