Magical Spinach-Broccoli Soup

This is an adaptation of some yummy soup made by Alison. I have made it a hundred times and I think it keeps away the flu bug.

Saute in olive oil:
1/2 onion, minced
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 potato, peeled and chopped

Cover with 3-3 1/2 c vegetable broth. Simmer 10-15 minutes.

Add 1 head broccoli, washed, trimmed, and chopped. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Add 1 bag/large bunch spinach, washed and sorted. I add some lemon juice, too, maybe a tablespoon. Stir.

Remove from heat. Puree with immersion blender.

Season with curry powder, salt, pepper, and pinch of cayenne. All to taste.

Stir in 1 cup of sour cream (you can use low fat or even plain yogurt.) Return to heat and warm but do not bring to a boil or the soup will curdle.

Yum. About 4 generous servings.
