CHICKEN FLORENTINE SOUP
Soup is what happens when I have leftovers in the house and it's time to clear out the veggie drawer. I got the inspiration while lunching at the Palm Tree Grille in Mount Dora when attending the annual Plant and Garden Sale. I didn't have their soup but it was on special. This will be great for lunches during the week.

CHEESY CHICKEN FLORENTINE CASSEROLE
My boyfriend prefers to boil and shred the chicken, but I think the consistency is better when you get to cut into a piece of chicken, surrounded by cheese and a creamy spinach sauce. One of my absolute favorite meals.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheeses will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients. Cook them just until they are tender.
- 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. Look for a cheese that is flavorful and melts well.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for a little extra flavor.
- Serve the soup immediately. This soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Northern Cheesy Florentine Soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
