INSTRUCTIONS
In a large pot or Dutch Oven heat some extra virgin olive oil. As soon as the oil gets hot add chopped red onions. Give some time for the onions to get slightly translucent.
Once the Onions have turned partially brown, add chopped garlic cloves. Stir for like 30-seconds. Now add Potatoes and Spinach.
Pour the broth and let this come to a boil. Stir occasionally until the potatoes are soft and tender. And, the spinach is bright green. This takes just 10-12 minutes.
In the meantime, take a skillet and add some butter to it. Once the butter melts add bread along with garlic powder. Toss and cook until it's beautifully golden brown. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
Use an immersion blender or a blender to blend it into a smooth paste.
Bring it back to a pan. Heat some butter. As soon as the butter melts add your soup. Stir in the cream with the soup.
