Recipe Description
Make sure everything is well washed and peeled off for a nice clean cooking. Don't forget to cut off the tips of the garlic, onion and carrots.
This is a critical step in traditional Portuguese cooking, first of all chop the onion and garlic then throw it in the pan with olive oil. Let it cook a bit until the onion get the yellowish color from the olive oil. By then add a slash of black pepper, watch out the quantities of it because it can get spicy.
Cut the potatoes and carrots so that it cooks faster , the smaller you cut, the faster it cooks. Cut the carrots a little bit smaller than the potatoes , because the carrot takes longer to cook .
Fill the pan with water just slightly over the vegetables level. Cook them at boiling point, it will take about 20 minutes, just keep mixing and tasting for a better notion of the cooking point.
Take all the leaves from the spinach and throw away the rest. Don't forget to wash them very well!!!
Use a stick mixer to blend everything at the pot this time. While doing it add the spoon of corn flour , this will increase the creamy aspect of the soup, if you add too much the soup will become solid.
By the advising of a user, I've put in consideration the kind of flour used in this recipe, it was suggested organic cornflour (commonly known in the U.S. as corn starch), you should feel free to try whatever you want as I said in the beginning of this instructable.
With a nice homogeneous cream, add the spinach and let it cook at a slightly boiling point for about 3/4 minutes . if you boil it too much the spinach leaves will become too much soft and break.
From a later suggestion, I've discovered that the spinach has a inconvenient, the cooking of this vegetable produces oxalic acid into the water, witch can be toxic if taken in large quantities, for the more worried minds, its advised to boil the spinach separately and then drain its water before joining it with the cream.
I hope that you enjoyed this instructable and that you've made a good use out of it.
Good apetite!
