I actually can't remember if mom gave me this recipe, or if she raved about the soup so much that I went and found the recipe somewhere (if I did I have no idea where so can't give credit). Either way she gets the credit for telling me about it, and I've made it quite a few times since and we really like it. Perfect chilly fall day soup.
SPINACH MARIA SOUP
1/2 stick butter
1/2 small onion, chopped
3 T. flour (mixed with a little water)
3 cups chicken broth
4 oz. cream cheese, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
milk, as needed for consistency
1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 can artichoke bottoms, chopped into small bite-sized pieces
- Melt the butter, add onion and sauté until the onions are wilted and softened.
- In a small bowl combine 3 T. flour with a little water to make a thin roux, add to the butter and onions in the pan and stir to combine. Cook and stir for a couple minutes, then add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce temperature and add cream cheese, 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt, and enough milk to reach the consistency you want.
- Add chopped spinach and chopped artichokes: continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated thru and creamy smooth.
