Serving and Pairing Suggestions
This Simply Spinach and Potato Curry Soup is pretty bomb on its own, but we can definitely take it up a notch! For dipping, you absolutely need some Garlic Naan – it’s perfect for soaking up all that creamy, curried goodness.
If you want to make it a more complete meal, serving it over a bed of Cilantro Lime Rice adds a fantastic fresh counterpoint and makes it super hearty. You could also serve a side of Roasted Vegetables for extra goodness.
For toppings, think fresh cilantro, a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream (or a dairy-free alternative), or even some crushed red pepper flakes if you like a little extra kick.
A sprinkle of toasted cashews or crunchy fried onions would add a nice texture too!
Tips and Notes
- Potato Perfection: Any starchy potato works great here – Russets, Yukon Golds, or even red potatoes are fine. Just make sure they’re cut into roughly 1/2-inch cubes so they cook evenly and quickly.
- Spice It Up (or Down!): The recipe uses a mild curry powder, but feel free to adjust to your heat preference. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some fresh grated ginger if you’re feeling adventurous. For less heat, reduce the curry powder slightly.
- Green Power: Don’t be afraid to pack in the spinach! It wilts down a lot, so what looks like a mountain will become a mere molehill. You can use fresh or frozen spinach – just thaw and squeeze out excess water if using frozen.
- Creaminess Control: If you prefer a thinner soup, add a little extra vegetable broth or water until you reach your desired consistency. For a thicker soup, let it simmer a bit longer, uncovered, to reduce.
- Storage Savvy: This soup stores wonderfully! Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. It also freezes well for up to 2 months; just thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stove.
