Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and parsnips. Chop them into large 1 inch pieces.
- Cut the deep green tops off of the leek to be cooked. Wash the pieces well. Cut the leeks into thin ribbons.
- Put the potatoes, parsnips, leeks, and oil in a medium pot. Heat on medium low for 10 minutes. Stir often to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pot.
- Add the salt, pepper, and water to the pot. Stir.
- Increase the heat to high to bring the water to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low to bring it to a simmer. Cook until potatoes and parsnips are soft, approximately 25 minutes.
- Put the spinach in a blender.
- Transfer the hot soup to the blender. USE CAUTION!
