Monday Soup
Posted Sun, 12/12/04
The following sounds like a nicely simple dinner for Monday night, courtesy of Campbell's Kitchen:
Tomato Florentine Soup
1 TBS butter or margarine
1 TBS finely chopped green onions
1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves, crushed
1 C packed shredded spinach leaves
1 can (10-3/4 oz.) Campbell's Tomato Soup
1 soup can milk
Heat the butter in a saucepan; add onions and thyme and cook until onion is tender. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Add soup and milk and heat through. Serves four.
I predict grilled baguette bread with garlic butter for dipping into the soup.
*POSTSCRIPT Wednesday, 12/22/04: I prepared Tomato Florentine Soup for lunch today, and it was mighty tasty. I was surprised by the goodness of it because I don't normally like cooked spinach, but the fresh leaves managed to stay firm even though I cooked them briefly with melted butter and onion before adding the soup. On the side, we had grilled chicken-and mozzarella sandwiches. It's the same premise as grilled cheese, except I used thin-sliced chicken deli meat and mozzarella cheese on the bread instead.
