Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Spinach Soup.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous splash of olive oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in some garlic cloves and sauté them until they turn a lovely golden brown on all sides, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
When theyâre perfectly browned, carefully remove the garlic from the pot and set it aside, but donât discard that flavorful oilâitâs going to be the base of your dish.
Step 4
Next, slice the sautéed garlic and return it to the pot, letting that delicious aroma fill the air.
Step 5
Now, add in your white rice, stirring it around until every grain is beautifully coated in the garlic-infused oil.
Step 6
Itâs time to bring in the stars of the show: pour in the undrained diced tomatoes and cook this mixture, stirring frequently, until it becomes toasty and fragrantâthis should take about 10 minutes.
Step 7
Once you canât resist the smell any longer, pour in the beef broth and add a handful of torn spinach to the pot.
Step 8
Give everything a good stir and let it cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt and blend into the mix.
Step 9
Finally, stir the sliced garlic back into the soup, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 10
This is where the magic happens as all those wonderful flavors meld together.
Step 11
Before serving, taste your creation and season it with a pinch of salt and a dash of ground black pepper to your liking.
Step 12
Enjoy the comforting warmth of this delicious soup, perfect for sharing with loved ones or savoring on a cozy night in!.
