[recipe] Spinach Soup

[Guest guest]

A good recipe for a cold day :-) Quick and easy.

This may not sound like much but it is very comforting and tasty.

Good with a veggie pizza on the side, or maybe a veggie burger.

Vegan even!

 

6 cups water

4-5 veggie boullion cubes

(or use equivalent amount of veggie broth instead of

water/boullion)

1 medium onion, diced

2-3 medium carrots, diced

2-3 potatoes, diced

1/3 cup rice

1 box of frozen chopped spinach -or- 1 bag fresh spinach, chopped

salt & pepper to taste

 

Saute onions in a little oil until they begin to brown. Add all

other ingredients, bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes or so until

potatoes and carrots are soft. Add spinach, cook about another 15

minutes until spinach seems cooked.

 

The rice is regular white rice that takes around 20 min to cook. If

you want to use brown rice or some other more flavorful long-cooking

rice, you might want to cook it first in the broth before adding the

carrots, potatoes etc.

Hi Cheryll,

That's sounds wonderful. I never see any spinach soup recipes except creamed

ones. I will try this hopefully this weekend. Thanks,,,,,,,,,,,Donna

Sounds yummy! I love spinach & use it lots. I make a spinach soup,

basically a broth, spinach & bowtie pasta. I like the sound of

yours, though, & bet the family would welcome the change!

 

thanks
