This is a simple and satisfying soup to have on a cold fall evening.
Enjoy!
1 bunch fresh spinach
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 pouch instant barley
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
½ red onion (sliced)
¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 cup favorite macaroni
4 cups chicken broth
¼ tsp Cornstarch
1 egg
Romano cheese for garnish
In heated saucepan place olive oil, spinach, onion, red pepper flakes and garlic. Sauté until spinach is cooked down.
Prepare macaroni as directed on box and set aside.
Prepare barley as directed on box and add to spinach. Add chicken broth and simmer on low.
In a small cup beat egg with cornstarch and while stirring hot soup drizzle egg and cornstarch mixture to soup.
Add macaroni and serve with grated Romano cheese as garnish.
This soup reminds me so much of the Portuguese chickpeas and spinach. Hearty and comforting. Will try it!
Ooooh! Spinach is my favorite veg and I have never thought about making it into soup! I'm gonna have to try your recipe!!! Thanks for sharing it.
