Ingredients
- 1 bag fresh spinach (5 oz), julienned
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup onion, diced
- 4 cup chicken broth
- 2 cup half and half
- pinch salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 4 cup cheese, your choice
Instructions
- Heat a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and butter, letting the butter melt. Stir in the shallot; cook until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute more.
- Measure in the flour; stir, and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the broth, 1 1/2 cups milk, cream cheese, salt and pepper; cook, continuing to whisk, until it begins to thicken but does not boil. Remove from heat, then add cheddar. Whisk until soup is smooth. If the base seems too thick, add a splash or two more milk.
- Add the spinach, then let sit for 5 minutes before serving, just until the spinach has wilted. Serve soup topped with croutons or a few extra sprinkles of cheese, if desired.
