As a vegetarian, chicken soup when I am sick isn't that appetizing. So this is a great alternative for the vegetarian who wants a tasty flavorful treat. The best part is it is so crazy easy to cook, you can do it with a fever stumbling around the kitchen. I have no photos, because I was sick and icky and didn't feel like taking one, and of course there is never any left when you share with your non-sick family members :) Don't forget all this spinach puts some great nutrients into your body to help you fight your ick.
- vegetable broth
- one package of frozen chopped spinach
- raviolinis (these are great cause they are tiny but you can also use tortellini or any small pasta really)
- spice to taste (i use pepper, berbere, thyme, etc)
- Bring broth just to a boil
- Add spices
- Add defrosted and drained spinach
- Bring to boil and let it cook a bit so the spinach flavor gets in the soup
- Pour in raviolinis and cook as long as directions say on package
- Serve and Enjoy
** Kid Friendly Tip - I scooped out the raviolinis and spinach into a bowl minimizing the broth for my son and he literally licked the bowl clean. It was the first time that I have gotten this little iron deficient cuteness to eat spinach so I am remembering the trick for the future. Of course he has little interest in liquid foods and would have made a crazy mess if we put much broth in it. **
