Chicken Potato Spinach Soup
A home-style soup with the perfect blend of creamy and chunky texture. (A delicious use of last night's cooked chicken breast, too!)
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
- 1½ cup (360 ml) milk, or cashew milk
- ½ cup (80 g) medium onion, peeled
- 3 (415 g) medium russet potatoes, baked, halved, cooled, divided use
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 Tablespoon fresh spinach, steamed
- 1 (125 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, optional
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
- Place broth, milk, onion, two potatoes, and rosemary into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.
- Blend for 6 minutes or until heavy steam escapes from the vented lid.
- Reduce speed to Variable 3 and remove lid plug.
- Add spinach, one potato, chicken, salt, and pepper through the lid plug opening.
- Blend for an additional 15 seconds.
Chef's Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled in the 64-ounce container to have leftovers for the week. If desired, onions may be sauteéd before blending for a milder taste.

Tasty and easy!
This recipe is so easy and incredibly tasty. I lightened it up a little by substituting 1 C chicken broth for 1 C milk (only used .5 C milk) and used three baby russet potatoes. I sautéed the onions with a little garlic. I, too, was initially confused with the spinach measurement, but then just added 1 C fresh spinach. Will make this again since we almost always have all of the ingredients readily available.

Love It!!!
This is my go to soup throughout the year. It is very easy to make. I bake the potatoes, so that is the longest part of this recipe, about 1 hour. My husband and I like the soup on the thicker side, so I add larger potatoes. It's always delicious and quite filling.

Versatility!
This soup turned out excellent. I added thick cut bacon in the last step and it was really good.

Clarification from previous post
I have not made this but wanted to clarify for a previous reader. There are 3 potatoes. The first step is to use 2. The last step is to include the 3 rd potatoe do the recipe is correct.

recipe clarification
I haven't made this yet but the recipe says to put both potatoes into the blender on the first step. Then, as the last step, it says to put in the "reserved potato." I think you mean to put just one potato in at the beginning, and then put in the "reserved potato" at the end?

Possibly the best soup I've ever eaten
I made some tweaks to the recipe based on the on-line reviews, using 2 cups of broth and 1/2 cup of milk, one cup of spinach, which was thawed from frozen. I sauteed the onion. I used 5 ounces of shredded chicken breast, thawed from frozen. During the final step of adding the chicken, spinach and 1 potato (baked, cooled & cut up), I tossed in 2 tablespoons of crispy bacon pieces. The soup came out flawlessly blended and hot, with just enough chunky pieces of vegetables to add texture, and the bacon gave it extra pizazz! My husband (a picky eater) liked it so much he went back for a second big bowl! It was fabulous; satisfying and nutritious. I'll definitely make it again exactly the same. Next time I will serve it with the corn bread!
