1 3/4 cup peeled Yukon Gold potatoes, medium diced

2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until potatoes are soft!. Add spinach and stir until leaves wilt, 1/2 minute!. Remove from heat immediately -- an important step or you will lose that beautiful brilliant green color!. Cool the soup to warm!. Pureé in batches in the blender or food processor!.

I make this from fresh spinach which I grow in my garden, but I suppose you can make it from frozen or canned spinach also!.
After washing and cutting the leafy parts from the while stems, I blanch the spinach in a little salted water!. I then peel and dice a large potato and cut up an onion all of which goes in with the blanching spinach!.
I let it simmer for a while and allow it to reduce!.
If you like, you can also add a carrot or two, usually diced!.
Now when the veg is well reduced I add more water and also some stock powder, (which ever flavour suites you)!.
Only at a simmer I allow the soup to cook while adding diced bacon bits about 20 minutes before serving!.
Enjoy with fresh bread!.
