Dragonscale Soup (Aka Green Soup)
- 1 lb potato (3 med)
- 1 lb fresh spinach
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large shallot
- 12 onion
- 4 celery ribs
- 8 cups water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon pepper
- 1 12 cups fresh parmesan cheese, grated
- Chop the onion, celery, and shallot.
- (You can do this ahead.)
- Peel the potatoes, cut them in 1/2 lengthwise and slice them thickly.
- (Don't do this until you're ready to make the soup now or the potatoes will blacken.
- ).
- Put olive oil into stew pot, heat until hot but not smoking.
- Add chopped onion, celery, and shallot.
- Saute until the onion is translucent.
- Remove sauteed vegetables to a medium bowl.
- Put the water and the potatoes in the stew pot (the olive oil and few vegetable bits still in the pot won't hurt anything).
- Boil 15 minutes or until a fork inserted into the potato slices breaks them apart, as with a baked potato.
- While the potatoes boil, wash the spinach* and grate the cheese.
- Re-add the sauteed vegetables to the potatoes and water, boil 5 minutes more.
- Add the spinach, boil 5 more minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Use a soup ladle to remove about 2C of the vegetables from the stew pot into the bowl.
- Liquefy or blend the remaining vegetables and liquid.
- Put the whole vegetables back into the pot.
- Add the worcestershire sauce, stir to blend.
- Serve with about 1/4C grated cheese on each serving.
- *I used a stick blender to liquefy the soup, I left the stems on.
- If you don't have a stick blender or are unsure if you can blend the soup with the stems, remove them when you wash the spinach.
- Or, use baby spinach and it shouldn't be a problem.
