Method

In a 3 quart saucepan combine onion and canola oil, and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes or until tender and translucent. Add water, chicken broth, lemon zest and potatoes. Cover and simmer 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add spinach and cook 5 minutes. Cool mixture for 10 minutes then pour into a food processor and pulse until mixture is finely chopped. Add the milk, half and half, and sour cream. Process until smooth, transfer to a saucepan and heat gently over medium-low heat. Sprinkle each serving with chopped dill and finely grated lemon zest.
