This French soup is often called spring soup because it is usually prepared in the spring, when spinach and young asparagus appear in the gardens. Delicious and nutritious vegetable soup with rice.
It is necessary
- For ten servings:
- - 500 g fresh asparagus;
- - 250 g fresh spinach;
- - 50 g butter;
- - 2 liters of water;
- - 1/3 cup white rice;
- - 4 potatoes;
- - 1 onion, 1 carrot;
- - 1 glass of heavy cream;
- - nutmeg, pepper, salt.
Instructions
Step 1
Melt the butter in a skillet. Put the chopped onion head, fry over medium heat until transparent. Add chopped spinach, cook for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally. The spinach should wrinkle slightly.
Step 2
Pour broth or water into a saucepan, bring to a boil. Peel the potatoes, cut into cubes or strips, add to boiling water. Send carrots cut into strips (you can grate them on a coarse grater), raw rice and chopped fresh asparagus there. Salt the contents of the pot to your liking. Bring to a boil again, reduce heat, cook for 20 minutes, until rice with vegetables is tender.
Step 3
Add fried onions with spinach to a saucepan, pour in heavy cream (at least 30% fat), cook everything together for 5-7 minutes on minimal heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
French soup with spinach and asparagus is served warm, but in summer you can try serving it chilled - you get an interesting version of okroshka in the French style. On top of the finished soup, you can sprinkle with grated cheese - this will add spice.
