Eat your greens

Like to share this recipe. I dun reali like eating spinach nor broccoli straight n thus find tis recipe good as can't taste them at all.
Ingredients: 1 medium-sized chopped onion, 2 medium-sized potatoes, 1 head of broccoli cut into florets, 1 bunch of spinach (abt 250gms), 1 tbsp of butter (or 10g, those prepacked ones), abt 500ml of milk (uht packed ones, 2) n water - enough to cover all ingredients.
In a slow cooker, cook the above ingred except the spinach under high for abt 1 hour, then on low for abt 5 to 6 hours. Then you add in the spinach leaves n cont to simmer. When it's done, lift the lid and let the pot cool down. Next pour the soup into the blender, batch by batch, n blend them into smooth texture, say less than 10 sec each time.
After that, pour the blended soup back into the slow cooker, add salt to taste, n put under auto till dinner time. It serves abt 3 person, medium serving per pax as the cream soup is thick n shouldn't be taken too much. Serve it with toasts, or whole-grain breadrolls.

Another way of cooking chinese spinach, is by stir-frying it with chopped garlic before adding some tuna flakes, to make the white sauce for pasta meals. It may sound odd, but it's nice.
