Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Begin heating the butter, EVOO, garlic, and pepper flakes in a medium sized pot set to just below medium heat. Once heated, stir and let everything sizzle together for about a minute without burning. Add the onion, light portions of the green onions, celery, carrot, and a good pinch of both salt & cracked pepper. Stir as needed and let the veggies cook about 10 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and another good pinch of both salt & pepper. Stir and cover the pot for 5 minutes. Pour in the broth and drop in your cheese rind. Let the soup come to a boil and once boiled, reduce your heat to a simmer and stir in the vegeta, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cover & simmer for 12 minutes. Add the zucchini & snap peas and continue to simmer with a tilted lid now, for 12 - 15 minutes until your veg are tender but not mushy.
- Pour in the cream and wait for the soup to come back to temp. Pluck out the cheese rind. Scoop a cup of mostly potatoes and broth in to a separate, blender safe container & puree until smooth using your Immersion blender. Stir this creamy mixture back in to your soup and drop in your spinach. Stir and let the spinach cook for only a couple of minutes. Turn off the heat and fold in your white cheddar, dark green onions, & grana padano. Taste and adjust your salt / pepper if needed / desired.
- Serve your bowls garnished with additional shredded cheese, pepper flakes, some herbs or green onions, and croutons if you have them for that welcome crunch. ENJOY!
Notes
- Garnish - Green Onions, Shredded Cheddar, Pepper Flakes, Croutons
- QUICK CROUTONS - I simply heated up a grill pan and sliced some baguette. I gave them a drizzle of EVOO and grilled them on both sides until golden and crisp. Then, I just chopped them up and they're ready to go. Keep in mind, they won't stay crunchy as long as if you'd baked them, but it's a good, quick substitute.
