This is a super easy and super healthy recipe, and so tasty too! I don't have the nutritional values for it, but it's 0 Weight Watcher points... if you know what that means.
---------------------------------------------------
10 oz baby spinach leaves
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 medium celery ribs, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium garlic clove, minced
4 cups (or two cans) vegetable or beef broth
28 oz canned diced tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1 Tbsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, crushed
---------------------------------------------------
Place all ingredients in a large pot on the stovetop. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low; simmer, partly covered, about 10 minutes. DONE!
You can also just put all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on high for 5 hours.
Serves 8
Great to keep on hand in the fridge for a healthy snack/meal.
I made this last week. It is yummy, but I found that simmering it for about 1/2 hour makes the flavors soak together much better than just 10 minutes did. Also, I think that when you make it for a dinner soup it would taste great to add some Italian sausage, or even ground beef to make it heartier. Thanks for so many great recipes, Laural!
ReplyDeleteMmm, I like that Italian sausage idea. I'll give that a try next time! It does definitely taste better the longer you cook it.
