Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the chopped onion in a large pot with 1/2 cup of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onion softens slightly, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the remaining 5 1/2 cups of water, chopped potatoes, sliced zucchini, and soy sauce to the pot.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 35 minutes, or until the potatoes and zucchini are very tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Add the tightly packed spinach leaves and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and puree until completely smooth. Caution: The soup will be hot.
  6. Return the blended soup to the pot. If using, add the trimmed enoki mushrooms. Heat gently over low heat for 5 minutes to warm through.
  7. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.
