Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 6 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water, then drain and set aside.
Blanch the tomatoes: Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the tomatoes, and let them cook for about 1 minute. Transfer the tomatoes to a bowl of ice water, then peel off the skins. Dice the peeled tomatoes into small chunks.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the diced tomatoes to the pot and stir. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the spinach to the pot and stir. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted but still bright green.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
