SPINACH and WATERCRESS SOUP

yum yum! I've been searching for a recipe of this soup for at least 5+ years now. I spent a summer in Mont Tremblant in Quebec and went to a French restaurant and had an amazing watercress soup. Watercress isn't very common, and most likely cannot be found in any supermarket- I got mine from an asian supermarket.

Watercress is extremely healthy for you and is loaded with Iron and Vitamin C. I followed this recipe from Gordon Ramsay's Healthy Cooking book and I modified it a bit and absolutely loved it. Check out the recipe here. I used a sweet onion and used 1.5 white potatoes instead. Mince/Dice and fry it up!

Prepare for lots of chopping. Sacrificed blood sweat and tears just chopping the onion.

 I'm normally not one to measure things out so I just use my best guess. Heat it up over the stove and then puree it in a blender. Check out my results below!

Voila! Spinach and Watercress soup

I'm extremely happy with the results! I've tried to recreate the same soup I had in Month Tremblant at least ten times- I've tried adding a bit of cream to get a creamy texture, I've tried absolutely everything and this is the best that I have ever done. Highly recommend it! it's nutritious and delicious (hehe, no pun intended).
