12 ounces of fresh spinach 
2 cups of vegetable broth
1/2 cup water
1 tsp of salt-free seasoning (any brand you like)
Himalayan salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. 

Stove Top Directions
Lightly coat or spray the bottom of a soup pot with olive oil. Add onions and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring. Add garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 3 minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Add spinach, vegetable broth, water, and salt-free seasoning. Bring to a boil and immediately turn off the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend until creamy. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. 

Instant Pot Directions
Lightly coat or spray the bottom of the insert liner of the Instant Pot with olive oil. Press sauté and add onions and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring. Add garlic and continue to sautee for an additional 2 minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Add spinach, vegetable broth, water, and salt-free seasoning. Cancel sauté, secure lid, and set to pressure cook for zero minutes. When done, immediately release steam according to the manufacturers directions. When all steam is released, remove lid, and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth and creamy.
