500g silverbeet
1 small onion
1 medium sized potato finely diced
2 Tbsp butter
800 ml (chicken) stock
salt and pepper
3 Tbsp sour cream (I used strained yogurt)
1 lemon or whipped cream for garnish
Cut stalks off the silverbeet and wash both thoroughly.
(I find it easier cleaning silverbeet with the stalks off as the wrinkles sort of loosen up)
Roll the leaves up and finely slice.
Slice stalks.
Melt butter in a large pan and add the stalks, onion and potato.
Cook gently for 5-10 minutes with the lid on.
Add leaves and cook another minute.
Add the stock and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until all the vegies are tender.
Put thru a blender, sieve or mouli to make a puree.
Warm the sour cream(or strained yogurt) in the pot and pour the soup back in.
Stir well.
If you are having it hot reheat without boiling if needed.
If you are having it cool, then dont do that part.( Its nice chilled)
My kids loved it hot in winter and werent too sure about cold green soup in summer.
Actually they werent too sure about green soup to start with full stop but I did manage to get them to try it.
Later the argument was whether we were going to have it hot or chilled.
It does taste lovely chilled as opposed to just cool.
