Instructions:
-
Begin by heating a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and scallions along with a splash of olive oil. Saute them in the pan for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they turn translucent and fragrant.
-
Next, incorporate the fresh spinach, parsley, and celery into the pan. Allow them to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Once the vegetables have softened, pour in the vegetable broth, rolled oats, salt, dried thyme, and white pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
-
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Cover the saucepan with a lid and allow the soup to simmer for approximately 20 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the soup cool for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
-
Working in batches, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and puree until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Be cautious when blending hot liquids to prevent splattering.
-
Once the soup is pureed to perfection, return it to the saucepan and place it back on the stove.
-
Gently reheat the soup over medium heat until it reaches your desired temperature.
-
Ladle the creamy “Cream” of Spinach Soup into bowls and serve piping hot, garnishing with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
-
Enjoy the wholesome goodness of this vegan delight, savoring each spoonful of its rich and comforting flavors.
