"Let things taste of what they are" - by Alice Waters.....did any one hear about his beautiful quote?? Well guess what, I did not hear about it until I made this soup with the simplest and minimum ingredients, yet I assure you, it tasted the best. Shoj always says, when I do simple dishes, it tastes the best. I know these things are a part of everyone experiences more than once in your own kitchen. So let's jump on to the recipe.... :)
In between, would like to focus on some of the good aspects of potato and spinach....
Spinach: Spinach is rich in iron, calcium and extremely rich in antioxidants, especially when eaten fresh, steamed or quickly boiled. It is a rich source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, magnesium, folate, betaine, iron, Vitamin b2, calcium, potassium, and so many other vitamins and minerals....
Potato: Potatoes actually can survive healthily on a diet of potatoes supplemented only with milk or butter, which contain the two vitamins not provided by potatoes (vitamin A and D). Potatoes have both vitamins and minerals.
Note: You can use any kind of potatoes, I like red potatoes.
Method:
---------
1. In a heavy bottom sauce pan, melt butter, when it's hot enough, add the garlic and onion and saute it until onions get translucent.
2. Now add the potatoes and saute it for about 5 mins on medium high flame, add enough water, cover and cook until the potatoes are almost cooked, maybe for about 8-10 mins or until the potatoes are fork tender.
3. Now open the lid and add the spinach and quickly stir and let it cook for just 2-3 mins.
4. Add enough salt and pepper, stir again and off the flame.
5. Serve this hot or warm for a light soup dinner, or combine it with your choice of bread. (I just had it just like that, so simple yet tasted good.):)
