SCALLOPED SPINACH



Scalloped Spinach image

My great-aunt made this for lunch when I was visiting and I loved it. It was not like anything else I'd had (was only in my 20s at the time) and, fortunately, she willingly shared her recipe. I haven't tried it w/ fresh spinach but I think it would be even better. (Recipe is easily doubled) EDITED TO ADD: I made this using parmesan cheese for a holiday dinner and loved it. Also left off the bread crumbs and didn't miss them a bit!

  • When the asparagus is cool, drain and set aside.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh seafood and vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. Try to buy organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops are delicate and cook quickly. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they are opaque and cooked through.
  • Use a good-quality fish stock: The fish stock is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a fish stock that is made with fresh fish bones and vegetables.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Serve the soup immediately: Spinach and scallop soup is best served hot. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Spinach and scallop soup is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its delicate flavor and beautiful presentation, spinach and scallop soup is sure to impress your friends and family.
