Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
2 large leeks, washed, trimmed and roughly chopped
4 medium white potatoes, roughly chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and cut tiny pieces
1 medium turnip, peeled and roughly chopped
2 cups squash or pumpkin, roughly chopped
1 dry bay leaf
8 cups chicken broth
4 cups baby spinach, washed
1 can (540 ml or 19 fl oz) white kidney beans, rinsed

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Extra olive oil for drizzling over each bowl of soup when serving - optional

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil on medium high in a dutch oven or other large heavy pot.
  • Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions start to soften.
  • Add the leeks and continue to sauté and stir until the leeks reduce to half the volume.
  • Add the potatoes, 2/3 of the carrots, turnip, squash, bay leaf, half the beans, salt and pepper.
  • Turn the heat up to high. Once the soup starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Use a hand blender to puree the soup until smooth.
  • Add the carrots and remaining beans, cover, and continue to simmer on medium low for 10 minutes.
  • Add the spinach, cover and turn off the heat. The spinach will wilt into the soup.
  • Leave the pot covered for about 10 minutes.
  • Uncover, stir and serve. Add a drizzle of olive oil to elevate the dish a little. Enjoy!

PORTUGUESE SPINACH & CHICKPEA SOUP (SOPA DE GRAO)



Portuguese Spinach & Chickpea Soup (Sopa De Grao) image

Another recipe adapted from Jean Anderson's "Food of Portugal." This hearty soup is from the Alentejo and can be dressed up with the inclusion of some garlicy sausage--chourico or linguica. I have taken a shortcut and use canned chickpeas and frozen chopped spinach, but using really good homemade chicken stock really makes a big flavor difference.

Categories     Spinach

Time 2h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups chickpeas (2 cans or about 1 pound of dried if you are using them)
3 large garlic cloves, chopped (feel free to use more if you are not adding sausage)
3 large yellow onions, peeled and coarsely chopped
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 potatoes, peeled and coparsely chopped (I like Yukon gold)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
4 cups chicken broth (preferably homemade and unsalted)
3/4 lb spinach (either frozen chopped or fresh baby spinach with stems removed and chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (add one and taste(you may like less than the whole two spoonsful)
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Stir fry the garlic and onions in 3 tablespoons of oil in a large, heavy saucepan until translucent.
  • Add the potatoes and stir fry another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the herbs and allow them to meloow over low heat for about 12 minutes.
  • Add the broth, raise the heat and bring the soup to a gentle simmer, add the chickpeas, cover and cook slowly for about one hour or until everything is soft.
  • If you like your soup to have texture, ladle out a cup or so of chick peas; if you prefer it mostly smooth, don't.
  • Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it is as smooth as you like.
  • Add in the spinach, the reserved chickpeas(if you reserved them) and simmer twenty to thirty minutes--until the flavors are blended.
  • Now stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and serve, hot, with crusty bread.
