Directions

  1. First, you’ll need a large eggplant. Peel it, cut it into small cubes, and then cook it in a pot with water, chicken or meat broth, enough to cover the eggplant. Let it simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes.
  2. We strain the broth, keeping the liquid.
  3. Add it to the blender with a medium-sized onion, 2 tablespoons of powdered milk, and a handful of spinach that has been thoroughly washed. ≈ 3 min
  4. If the broth has not been cooked with broth, add a chicken bouillon cube and enough broth or water so that the blender can properly mix the ingredients.
  5. Salt is added to taste. ≈ 3 min
  6. Mix all the ingredients together, then filter the mixture. ≈ 4 min
  7. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat for 10 minutes.
  8. Another option is to sauté the onion in the butter, then add the remaining ingredients after you have blended and strained the rest. ≈ 3 min
  9. Serve it hot, and if you like, you can add some cheese to it. ≈ 2 min
