Spinach and White Bean Soup

I came up with this recipe while doing a detox. I needed something healthy and vitamin packed, gluten free, soy free, and dairy free, and I hadn’t been happy with the recipes I’d tried. This one was a winner! This recipe freezes well and can be reheated.

Step: 1

Combine baby spinach and carrot in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped.

Step: 2

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in spinach and carrot mixture, chicken stock, white beans, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, about 20 minutes.

Step: 3

Remove soup from heat and stir in lemon juice. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth.

The name of “stew” can refer to 2 time a food and a cooking method. Stewing involves slowly cooking piece of meat, raw fruit or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s same as to braising, but it makes have a few notable differences. The raw animal vested is chopped into few of pieces but of being cooked all of it , and the liquid completely covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for being a rib-sticking meal that warms you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming featured food , but stew’s cozy factor more than a way beyond preserving you from the cold . It’s all about those tender chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
