Tomato and Spinach Soup
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
1 T olive oil
2 cloves garlic - minced
6 plum tomatoes - chopped
4 bunches leaf spinach, well washed and coarsely chopped
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t pepper
4 c. chicken broth
1/2 c semolina (I use orzo)
1/4c freshly grated parmesan
shaved parmesan for garnish
Directions
place a large skillet over medium-high heat and, when it is hot, add the oil. Add garlic and cook until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until seared, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Add the salt, pepper, chicken broth and semolina, stirring well after each addition, and bring to a boil. (I cook the orzo in the broth, about 20 minutes - I've not tried pre-cooking the pasta)
Stir in the grated parmesan and serve immediately, garnished with shaved parmesan.
