*Perfect* Cream of Spinach Soup
















Cream of Spinach Soup
1/4 cup minced onions
2 tablespoons butter
2 bunches spinach
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flour
4 cups chicken stock, boiling
2 egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

In a heavy, 2- to 3-quart saucepan, cook the onion in butter for 10 minutes, or until tender. Trim, wash and dry the spinach, saving a few leaves for garnish. Add the leaves and tender stems to the onion. Sprinkle with salt. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the flour, cook for 5 minutes, add the boiling stock and cook 5 minutes longer. Puree mixture in a food processor or force through a food mill. Set aside, uncovered, until ready to serve.

To serve, immerse reserved spinach leaves in boiling water for 30 seconds and then freshen in ice water. Reheat the soup to a simmer. Beat the egg yolks into the cream. Add the soup very slowly to the egg-cream mixture, whisking vigorously. Return the soup to the stove to heat but do not allow to simmer or the yolks will curdle. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with spinach leaves. Makes 2 to 4 servings.

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Ingredients: 4 very ripe bananas, mashed 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda Pinch of salt 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour Method: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl with a fork until fairly smooth. Add in the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla and combine well. Add in the cinnamon, baking soda and salt and mix again. Lastly add the flour, mix well. Pour the mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour. When a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, the bread is done. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and serve! Makes one loaf. Kitchen Notes: If you don't like peanut butter, you can make this into a more traditional banana bread by substituting 1/3 cup melted butter, margarine or applesauce (keeps the bread moist without the added fat) for the PB. Variations my family likes: 1/2 cup of shredded coconut. 3/
