Carrot cream with spinach

Greetings

It's been a few days that i've been exploring soup recipes, and after I've seen the soup contest I've decides do do my first instructable. Hope you all enjoy it.

This is a common soup traditionally made in Portugal, that I took the liberty to add a small touch of myself. I don't usually follow recipes strictly so I'll just tell what I've used this time, if you're reasonable you'll change the quantities or ingredients at your taste.

What will you need:

Ingredients:
+/- 200 gr of Spinach
3/4 Potatoes
3/4 Carrots
1 Spoon of corn flour
2/3 Bits of garlic
1 Onion
1 Slash of Black pepper
1 Vegetable flavor bouillon cube (It alredy got salt in it)
10/20 dl of Olive oil

Tools:
Heat source
Cooking pan
Knife
Cooking spoon
Peeler (optional)
Stick mixer

Step 1 Wash and peel off all the vegetables

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.

Nice recipe! Two things. One is that you should try to get organic cornflour (in the US that's corn starch.) The second is that if you boil your spinach first in water then drain, then throw it in your soup, it will remove some of the oxalic acid. This may or may not be an issue for some people.

Hey! Thank you for the compliments! I don't know if the flour is organic or not, in my country this one was the one i've found. Probably another kind of cereal can cause an even better effect, it's in everyone's hands to experiment with it.

It was the first time I've heard about such a substance in the spinach, however from what I've read, this kinds of quantities of spinach won't cause a intoxication, and the cooking of that ingredient inside the cream can cause a pleasant exchange of flavors between the ingredients. But has you said, it "may or may not be an issue for some people".

I'll take your advice in consideration for the instructable, so I'll try to integrate this 2 points in it.

Nice , but it's better for you and viewers to see the final work first . So you should put it in the first , now before see final step , they can't understand what you made .
