Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
6 cups canned vegetable broth, or homemade
2 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place rice in a shallow baking pan and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, salt, nutmeg, cayenne, vegetable broth, and rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Stir in spinach, Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest, simmer until spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes longer, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach and vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it completely 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, it's done.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
  • Season to taste: Every palate is different, so be sure to season the soup to your liking. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other spices that you enjoy.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Spinach and rice soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, croutons, and chopped bacon.

Conclusion:

Spinach and rice soup is a delicious and nutritious meal 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 warm and comforting soup, give spinach and rice soup a try.
