Chalet Soup

Ingredients:

  • 50 g of spinach
  • 250 g of potatoes
  • 130 g of carrots
  • 80 g of onion
  • 150 g of milk
  • 500 g of vegetable broth
  • 170 g of sour cream
  • 80 g of cooked white beans
  • 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 70 g of butter (50 g for the soup, 20 g for the croutons)
  • 150 g of hard cheese
  • Bread (white, for croutons)
  • Salt (to taste), spices (pepper, nutmeg, dried dill)

Dice the vegetables and sauté them in butter. Lightly toast the flour in a pan, then add the broth to the pan and mix well. Add the beans and the flour-broth mixture to the vegetables, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes. Blend all the ingredients until smooth.

Prepare the croutons. Spread butter on the bread, sprinkle with grated cheese, and place in an oven preheated to 320°F (160°C) for 5-10 minutes. Serve the soup with the croutons.
