About the Recipe: Year round spinach is a popular ingredient used in cooking. The spring season, however, provides an extra incentive with spinach’s young tender leaves and savory sweet flavor to add it to recipes. This soup combines caramelized onion-flavored broth with Italian seasoning, swirling with roasted red peppers and plenty of Popeye’s favorite veggie, spinach. Add a crunchy garnish of croutons, almonds, and shaved Parmesan cheese. It’s a vegetarian dish that is hearty enough to serve for dinner with crunchy slices of Artisan bread.
Add Ingredients: Turn heat off. With a hand immersion blender, puree soup to a creamy thick consistency. Season with salt and black pepper. If soup is too thick, add more broth. Stir in chopped red peppers, and spinach. Return to heat. Cook until soup is hot, and spinach just begins to soften. Serve soup hot.
To Serve: Garnish as desired with sliced almonds, small garlic croutons, and shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese.
Serves: about 6 servings
