Favorite Green Soup

I was looking at the recipes I have posted thus far and realized that I had omitted this very basic and favorite soup in my repertoire.  Use whatever types of greens you have available.   When I wasn't feeling well at the beginning of September, a gracious friend, Tracy, harvested  the Swiss chard, typhon greens and kale from my husband's abundant vegetable garden, then made large batches of this soup and froze it for me. What a gift to be able to go to the freezer and pull out this soup whenever I don't have the energy to make something nourishing for myself.  

Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 Tablespoon coconut oil

3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed           
2 cups water
2 cups chicken broth
7 cups chopped fresh spinach
(or other greens such as kale, Swiss chard, mustard greens, collards, etc)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation:
Saute onion in oil.  Add potatoes and the water.  Cook until potatoes are tender.  Add greens and the chicken broth, salt and pepper and simmer until tender.  Puree.
