Best Rich Garlic Soup With Spinach And Pasta Recipes

CHILLED GARLIC AND SPINACH SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place fresh garlic heads on parchment-lined foil, drizzle with oil, and season with salt. Wrap in foil, and roast until tender, about 40 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze out garlic, discarding skins. Place 1/4 cup yogurt in a bowl, and stir in 2 teaspoons roasted garlic.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, and saute green garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Let cool.
• Transfer broth mixture to a blender. Add remaining yogurt and half the spinach, and puree. Add remaining spinach, the basil, and 2 tablespoons roasted garlic (reserve remainder for another use), and puree. Add lemon juice, and season with salt. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Before serving, top with a little roasted-garlic yogurt and basil.

ONE-POT SPINACH BEEF SOUP

Steps:

• In a 6-qt. stockpot, cook beef and garlic over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, breaking up beef into crumbles, 6-8 minutes; drain. Stir in broth, tomatoes and seasonings; bring to a boil.

ITALIAN ORZO SPINACH SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots and celery and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add stock, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the broth reaches a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low to maintain the simmer.
• Stir in the orzo until combined. Cover the pot with a lid and continue simmering the soup, stirring occasionally so that the orzo doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot, until the orzo is just barely al dente. (Try to avoid overcooking the orzo!)
• Stir the spinach into the soup. Taste and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
• Serve immediately, garnished with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

• Add about one-fourth of the cooked pasta to the pan, followed by one-fourth of the spinach, one-fourth of the Parmesan, one-fourth of the lemon juice and one-fourth of the lemon zest, stirring all the time until the spinach has wilted, about 1 minute. Continue this process of adding the ingredients in quarters, with additions of pasta water as needed if the mixture becomes too dry, until the pasta, spinach, Parmesan, lemon juice and lemon zest have all been added.
• Sprinkle over more Parmesan and season with freshly cracked black pepper. Toss until everything is well coated. Taste and adjust the seasonings, as needed.
