Garlic Soup With Spinach image

I made a lot of turkey stock after Thanksgiving and pulled some out for this spinach-packed, very quick and easy soup. A vegetarian version made simply with water and garlic is equally delicious.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 quarts chicken stock, turkey stock, vegetable stock, or water
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf and a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 to 3 large garlic cloves (to taste), minced
1/2 cup elbow macaroni
2 eggs
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, or 12 ounces of bunch spinach, stemmed, washed, dried and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Place the stock or water in a large saucepan or soup pot with the bouquet garni. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Bring to a simmer and add the garlic. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add the pasta and simmer 5 minutes, until cooked al dente. Remove the bouquet garni.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl and stir in 1/3 cup of stock, making sure that it is not boiling, and the cheese.
  • Stir the spinach into the simmering stock and simmer for 1 minute. Drizzle in the egg mixture, scraping all of it in with a rubber spatula. Turn off the heat and stir very slowly with the spatula, paddling it back and forth until the eggs have set. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve at once.

I'm not a big fan of garlic, but this soup was actually really good! The spinach helped to balance out the garlic flavor and the soup was very creamy and comforting.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more garlic and salt next time.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.
