SPINACH AND BLUE CHEESE SOUP



Spinach and Blue Cheese Soup image

Popeye's favorite soup! Good hot or cold. Soup also freezes well. Soup should not be pureed or frozen with bacon. Reserve bacon until serving time so it will remain crisp. It is equally as good to serve this soup without pureeing, just add a splash of dry vermouth and lemon juice to each portion just before serving.

CHEESE TORTELLINI SOUP W/ KIELBASA, WHITE BEANS, SPINACH RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Cheese Tortellini Soup w/ Kielbasa, White Beans, Spinach Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by mytastytreasures

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 Tablespoons olive oil
12 oz thinly sliced fully cooked
smoked kielbasa
1/2 cup diced onion
4 cloves garlic ,minced
1 1/2 teaspoons choped fresh thyme or
1/2 teaspoon dried
Scant 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
5 cans chicken broth (low salt) 14 oz
each
1 can diced tmatoes with liquid (I
use fire roasted) 14.5 oz
1 can (15 oz) white cannellini beans,
rinsed and drained
1 pkg. 9oz fresh cheese tortellini
1/2 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed,
dried, tough stems removed
Grated Parmesan cheese , for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa, garlic, onion, thyme, and red pepper flakes and saute until browned, about 12 minutes. ( I threw the garlic in after about 8 minutes of cooking.. didn't want it to burn.) Add the broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil . Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the beans and tortellini to the soup. Simmer until the pasta is just tender to the bite, about 10 minutes. Stir the spinach into the soup and turn off the heat; let stand for about 2 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving. ** Please note , add tortellini at another time if you aren't going to eat this all right away. It will become mushy if stored and absorbs some of the soup. I recommend boiling it as needed al dente, then throwing it in the soup for a couple of minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out all the excess water before adding it to the soup.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Once the spinach is wilted, remove it from the heat.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Gruyère cheese would be a good choice.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and season it with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, can add a nice finishing touch to the soup.

Conclusion:

Spinach cheese soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious spinach cheese soup that the whole family will enjoy.
