Spinach Soup

 

This is our favorite soup. It’s also adapted from

Tassajara Recipe Book.

 

2 yellow onions

2 big cloves garlic

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

½ teaspoon salt

olive oil

good amount of spinach (2 bunches)

parmesan and smoked gouda

salt and white pepper

 

Chop up the onion and sauté until translucent. Add

the garlic, nutritional yeast, and salt, and continue

sautéing for a few minutes.

 

Meanwhile, have chopped and washed spinach ready. Add

the spinach to the pot. Cover to steam until the

spinach is wilted, uncovering and stirring

occasionally.

 

Add two cups of boiling water. Simmer until the

spinach is tender (about ½ hour). Add grated cheese

(about ½ cup, or more if you want). Stir until cheese

is completely melted and incorporated.

 

Serve with white pepper and salt.
