Step by step recipe

• 1: Cut 200 g Morteau sausage into small dice (if you do not have any, use another kind of sausage, but preferably smoked).
  Chop 50 g onion.
  Chop 2 cloves garlic finely.
• 2: Peel and rinse 350 g potatoes and chop into fairly large dice.
• 3: Prepare 100 g fresh spinach, but leave raw - there is no need to blanch.
• 4: Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a large saucepan on medium heat.
  When hot, tip in the diced sausage and fry briefly.
• 5: Add the onion and garlic, salt and pepper, then stir to mix well. Cook without colouring for 1 or 2 minutes.
• 6: Add 1 litre 500 ml Vegetable stock. If you do not have any, add the same volume of water plus a stock cube, and potatoes.
  Bring to the boil.
• 7: Turn the heat down and leave to simmer until the potatoes are cooked.
• 8: Add 250 ml liquid cream and bring back to the boil.
  Check the seasoning.
• 9: Add the spinach and stir for 2 or 3 minutes.
• 10: Your soup is ready.

Remarks

This is a very flexible recipe, so do adapt the proportions to suit yourself (a bit more of this, a bit less of that...).
