HERBED CHICKEN & SPINACH SOUP
I love this slow cooker dish because it combines some of my favorite ingredients, such as savory spices, kidney beans and fresh spinach. To create a hearty meal, I eat the chicken soup with a side of crusty bread slathered in butter.-Tanya MacDonald, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia

HERBED CHICKEN AND SPINACH MEATBALLS
These are meatballs to make when you want to eat on the light side, without sacrificing flavor. They are highly seasoned, with chopped spinach and cilantro and lots of aromatic spices. No need for a sauce, they can be served alongside a leafy salad or with steamed rice. Make the meatball mixture a day or two in advance, if desired.

Steps:
- Blanch the spinach: Plunge leaves a handful at a time into a pot of boiling water. Leave just long enough to wilt, about 30 seconds, then drain in a colander and cool under running water. Remove and squeeze wilted leaves into a ball. Using a large knife, roughly chop spinach on a cutting board - you should have about 2 cups. Squeeze into a ball again to remove excess water. (This may be done several hours or up to a day in advance and refrigerated.)
- In a large bowl, put chicken, salt, pepper, lemon zest, cayenne, nutmeg, fennel seeds, cinnamon, spinach, cilantro, chile, egg, bread crumbs and cream. Using your clean hands, knead everything together, mixing well. Leave to absorb seasoning for 15 minutes or overnight.
- Test for seasoning: Take a small amount and flatten into a thin patty. Quickly cook in a small skillet, about 1 minute per side. Taste, then adjust the mixture's seasoning if necessary.
- Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, form 24 rough balls and place on a baking sheet. (The mixture will be soft.) Lightly sprinkle the balls with a very small amount of flour.
- Set a large, wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to a depth of 1/4 inch. When oil is wavy, use a spoon to help slip in balls into skillet. Gently fry the balls without crowding. Adjust heat as necessary (high heat will make them tough.) Cook for about 4 minutes per side; they should be golden brown, not too dark. Serve with lime or lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cook peas in a small pot of boiling salted water 1 minute. Drain; transfer to a food processor. Add 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon juice, 1 tablespoon cheese, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper; process until texture is similar to hummus. Add cilantro and 1 packed cup spinach; puree.
- Pat chicken dry; season with salt and pepper. Stir together remaining 2 tablespoons cheese and 1/2 teaspoon zest. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken, skin-side down; cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Spoon off fat and discard. Flip chicken and sprinkle with cheese mixture. Transfer to oven; roast until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss remaining 3 cups spinach with remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with puree, spinach, and lemon wedges.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water.
- Add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the pot before adding the vegetables. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
- To make the soup thicker, add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the soup until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Herbed chicken spinach soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try.
