Best Recipe for Creamy Leek and Spinach Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 leek (white part only), chopped
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 9 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
  • 1 ham bone (optional)
  • 2 cups plain yogurt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat butter in a stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir leek and spinach until leek is tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir flour into leek mixture and cook over medium-high, stirring constantly, until mixture flour is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove stockpot from heat.
  2. Mix broth, ham, and ham bone into leek mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, over low heat until soup is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
  3. Blend yogurt, egg yolks, salt, and pepper together in a blender or food processor until smooth; carefully stir into soup. Cook soup until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Remove and discard ham bone.
