Wilted Greens Soup with Crème Fraîche

Wilted Greens Soup with Crème Fraîche

Since it’s chilly outside, we are busting out a Market Fresh Cooking soup. It’s easy, satisfying and loaded with nutrition. What’s not to love? You can pick up the greens and potatoes on Saturday at the market.

Ingredients

  • 4 Servings
  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 3 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
  • 1 small Yukon Gold or ½ russet potato, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cups chopped mixed wilted greens (such as Boston, romaine, arugula, iceberg, red oak, and/or green oak)
  • 1½ cups frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • Crème fraîche and chopped fresh chives, tarragon, mint, and/or parsley (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium. Cook onion and thyme, stirring often, until onion is translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until potato surfaces look chalky, about 2 minutes. Add broth, bring to a boil, and cook until potato is tender, 8–10 minutes. Stir in greens, peas, and sugar, remove from heat, and let sit 10 minutes to allow greens to soften. Purée soup in a blender until smooth; season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Serve soup topped with crème fraîche and herbs.
