Potato and spinach soup

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Onion (fresh), chopped
2 tablespoons Butter
2 cups Water
1 teaspoon Salt
2 cups Potatoes (about 2 pounds of raw potatoes)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups Spinach (chopped), cooked (fresh or frozen)
13 ounces Evaporated milk (one standard can)
½ pounds Cheese, grated (Cheddar and Swiss work best, but any kind will do)

Directions

In a 3-quart saucepan, saute the onion in the butter until the onion is translucent (about 3 minutes).

Add water, potatoes, spinach and salt. Cook until potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes). Longer cooking does not hurt, but turn down the heat to a simmer. Add milk and Worcestershire sauce. Reheat to near boiling, but do not boil. Stir in grated cheese. Serve immediately.
