Peasant Soup

4 large potatoes, peeled
1 bunch green onion
2 yellow onions
1 carrott
2 stalks celery
2 1/2 c. water
1 cube butter
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 bunch spinach

Coarsely chop veggies and put all ingredients in a large pot EXCEPT spinach. Simmer for 1 hour, until veggies are tender. Clean the spinach while it's simmering, then wilt it in the pot when it's done. You can turn the heat off, or leave it on if you want the spinach more cooked.

ADD 1 c. milk or half and half, and then puree the soup either in parts in a blender or else I have a hand blender and I blend it right in that same pot. If your potatoes are too big you might need more liquid, you can add more milk or water until it is the thickness you like. MUST serve with thick crusty bread!

My kids hate veggies and they love this soup--they request it all the time.
