CHILLED GARLIC AND SPINACH SOUP



Chilled Garlic and Spinach Soup image

Green garlic, which greatly resembles an overgrown scallion, has a mild flavor. Heads of fresh garlic are mature but just harvested. Because they haven't been cured for winter storage, they're very juicy. If you can't find either type of garlic, substitute scallions for the green garlic and regular (cured) garlic for the fresh. The soup will still be delicious.

Time 3h

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 to 4 heads fresh garlic (enough for 3 tablespoons)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Coarse salt
2 cups low-fat plain yogurt
6 to 10 green garlic stems, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 cup)
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 pound baby spinach (6 packed cups)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, plus small leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place fresh garlic heads on parchment-lined foil, drizzle with oil, and season with salt. Wrap in foil, and roast until tender, about 40 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze out garlic, discarding skins. Place 1/4 cup yogurt in a bowl, and stir in 2 teaspoons roasted garlic.

Add remaining spinach, the basil, and 2 tablespoons roasted garlic (reserve remainder for another use), and puree. Add lemon juice, and season with salt. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Before serving, top with a little roasted-garlic yogurt and basil.

RICH GARLIC SOUP WITH SPINACH AND PASTA



Rich Garlic Soup With Spinach and Pasta image

This is a heartier version of garlic soup, a meal in a bowl with a generous egg yolk enrichment and lots of iron-rich spinach.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 heads garlic
2 quarts water
1 tablespoon olive oil
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley, and a fresh sage leaf
Salt to taste
1/2 cup small macaroni shells
6 1/2-inch thick slices country bread, toasted and rubbed with a cut clove of garlic
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1/2 cup, tightly packed)
4 egg yolks
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan full of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice and water. Separate the head of garlic into cloves and drop them into the boiling water. Blanch for 30 seconds, then transfer to the ice water. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then drain and remove the skins from the garlic cloves. They'll be loose and easy to remove. Crush the cloves lightly by leaning on them with the side of a chef's knife.
  • Place the garlic cloves in a large saucepan with the 2 quarts water, olive oil, bouquet garni, and salt to taste, and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Strain and return the broth to the saucepan. Taste and adjust salt, and bring back to a simmer.
  • Add the macaroni shells to the broth and simmer until cooked al dente.
  • Distribute the garlic croutons among 6 soup bowls and top each one with a heaped tablespoon of cheese. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Making sure that it is not boiling, whisk in a ladleful of the hot garlic broth.
  • Add the spinach to the simmering broth and stir for 30 seconds to a minute, until all of the spinach is wilted. Turn off the heat and stir in the tempered egg yolks. Stir for a minute, taste and adjust seasonings. Ladle the soup over the cheese-topped croutons, and serve.

CREAMY SPINACH SOUP



Creamy spinach soup image

The lovely, leafy spinach in this recipe makes for a flavoursome and intriguing bright-green soup

Provided by Maxine Clark

Categories     Dinner, Soup

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

50g butter
1 medium onion , finely chopped
2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
1 medium potato , peeled and chopped into chunks
450ml chicken or vegetable stock
600ml milk
450g fresh spinach , washed if necessary and roughly chopped
finely grated zest of half a lemon
freshly grated nutmeg , to taste
3 tbsp double cream , to serve

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large lidded saucepan, add the onion and garlic and fry gently for 5-6 minutes until softening. Stir in the potato and continue to cook gently for 1 minute. Pour in the stock and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the potato starts to cook. Pour in the milk and bring up to a simmer, then stir in half the spinach and the lemon zest. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the spinach has completely wilted down. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the soup into a blender (preferably) or food processor, add the remaining spinach (this will keep the soup bright green and fresh tasting) and process until silky smooth - you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your machine. (The soup may now be frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost in the microwave or overnight in the fridge. The soup may lose some of its vibrancy on freezing, but the flavour won't be impaired.) Return to the pan and reheat. Taste and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. You may like to dilute the soup with a little extra stock if too thick. Ladle the soup into bowls and swirl in the cream

Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic and spinach: Fresh ingredients always yield the best results, so make sure to use fresh garlic and spinach when making this soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the garlic, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the garlic to steam rather than brown.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use a store-bought broth.
  • Season to taste: Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the soup immediately, while it's still hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

This garlic soup with spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is packed with flavor from the garlic, spinach, and vegetable broth. It's also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy and nutritious meal.
