Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups uncooked brown rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces (4 cups) fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps thinly sliced
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 bags (5 ounces each) baby spinach leaves
Coarse salt and ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rapid boil. Stir in brown rice and return to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook, without lifting lid, for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth and rosemary; bring to a boil. Cover and remove from heat.
  • Check rice after 30 minutes; if it's not yet tender, cover and continue cooking, up to 10 more minutes. Stir 2 cups cooked rice and chickpeas into the broth; return to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and continue cooking for 5 more minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  • Stir in spinach and cook, uncovered, until just wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with cheese; serve immediately.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Spinach Soup Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound frozen chopped spinach, thawed
2 cups water
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
½ cup chopped onion
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups half-and-half
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place spinach, water, bouillon, onion, and garlic powder in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until onion is tender.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan and whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook for 2 minutes. Slowly stir in half-and-half; mix until smooth. Pour the cream mixture into the spinach soup, and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach is more flavorful and nutritious than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely before adding it to the soup.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its color. Add the spinach to the soup at the end of the cooking time and cook it just until it wilts.
  • Use a variety of beans. This recipe calls for chickpeas, but you can use any type of bean you like. Black beans, kidney beans, and lentils are all good options.
  • Add some heat. If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the soup. You can also add a dollop of sriracha or hot sauce to each bowl of soup.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Creamy spinach chickpea soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better with a few toppings. Try adding a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of grated cheese, or a few croutons.

Conclusion:

Creamy spinach chickpea soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover spinach and chickpeas. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
