Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 medium onion, halved and sliced

  • 3 cup reduced sodium-chicken broth or vegetable broth

  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Salt

  • 12 ounce Yukon gold potatoes, quartered

  • 2 tablespoon butter

  • 3 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

  • 3 cup spinach leaves

  • 3 cup arugula leaves

  • 2 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves and tender stems

  • Fresh arugula (optional)

Directions

  1. In a 3-quart saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook 5 minutes. Add broth, pepper, and salt to taste. Bring to boiling. Add potatoes and return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in large skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until tender and liquid has evaporated. Set mushrooms aside.

  3. Remove saucepan from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend onion-potato mixture until almost smooth. Add spinach, arugula, and parsley. Return to heat. Bring to boiling; remove from heat. Using immersion blender, puree soup again until nearly smooth and flecks of green remain. Top servings with sautéed mushrooms and, if desired, additional arugula.
