Chicken Popeye Soup ( Chicken and Spinach Pot Pie Soup) image

Well This is my creation in my first RSC contest. After thinking about it, I went into the kitchen and made it. When it came time for my DH to give it his review, HE really liked it! It is loaded with flavor. Rich and creamy. The crust served on top of the soup makes it extra good! Enjoy.

POPEYE PIE



Popeye Pie image

This pizza is one of my most popular dishes, a kind of warm spinach salad on a crust. I've been serving it since the earliest days at Sullivan Street (its origins-how I came to make it-are now lost in the mists of memory). But, even today, to the best of my knowledge, I'm the only one who offers it. Try it at home, and right after that first bite, you'll see why it's one of the most popular pies I've ever devised. When I make the Popeye in my home kitchen, I deviate from the usual system in this book and bake it (as called for here) rather than placing it under the broiler. The image of that mound of spinach directly under flame just seems wrong-I'm not even sure what would happen, but it wouldn't be good.

Yield Makes one 10- to 12-inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ball of Pizza Dough, shaped and waiting on a floured peel
1 medium garlic clove, grated
30 grams (about 1 ounce) pecorino fresco, cut into 1-inch cubes and slightly flattened by pressing between thumb and index finger
18 grams (1/3 cup) finely grated Gruyère cheese
50 grams (about 1 3/4 ounces) fresh mozzarella, pulled into shreds
2 pinches of freshly ground black pepper
120 grams (about 4 1/4 ounces) fresh spinach
Generous pinch of fine sea salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • 1 Place the pizza stone in a gas oven on the middle rack. Preheat the oven on bake at 500°F for 30 minutes. Switch to broil for 10 minutes and then back to bake at 500°F. (For an electric variation, see Cooks' Note.)
  • 2 With the dough on the peel, sprinkle the surface evenly with the garlic. Distribute the pecorino, Gruyère, and mozzarella evenly over the dough. Sprinkle evenly with pepper.
  • 3 With quick, jerking motions, slide the pie onto the stone. Bake for 2 minutes.
  • 4 Pull the rack partially out of the oven. Quickly add the spinach in what will look like a big mound (the spinach will reduce, the mound flattening, as spinach always does when it cooks). Sprinkle evenly with salt. Return the pie to the oven for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes in a gas oven (somewhat longer with an electric oven; see Cooks' Note), until the crust is charred in spots, but not as deeply as with the other pizzas in this book.
  • 5 Using the peel, transfer the pizza to a tray or serving platter. Drizzle evenly with oil. Slice and serve immediately.

POPEYE'S SPINACH PIE

**_Editor's note:_** _The recipe below is from Alex Jamieson's book,_ The Great American Detox Diet.

Provided by Alex Jamieson

Yield Makes 1 (9-inch) pie

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups spelt white flour
3/4 teaspoon sea salt, divided
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1-2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup finely shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
8 cups (16 ounces) fresh baby spinach, washed and dried
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried mustard powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 large tomato, cut into 8 half-moon slices

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • 2. To prepare the crust, sift the flour and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt into a medium mixing bowl. Slowly pour in 1/3 cup of the oil while stirring to form a dough. Do not overmix or the dough will be too tough. Use up to 2 tablespoons of water to help form the dough.
  • 3. Gather the dough into a ball and lightly roll with a rolling pin until it reaches a 9-inch diameter. Press the rolled dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Poke the bottom of the crust all over with a fork. Set aside while preparing the filling.
  • 4. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and the onion. Sauté for 2 minutes, add the cabbage and zucchini, and sauté an additional 5 minutes. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted.
  • 5. Add the garlic, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, marjoram, basil, thyme, mustard, paprika, and pepper. Stir well to combine, and sauté for 1 minute.
  • 6. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
  • 7. Bake for 35 minutes.
  • 8. Remove pie from the oven and garnish with a ring of tomato slices.
