Spinach Ziti Soup

 

This delightful, healthy soup is the perfect one to slurp up on a chilly Fall day.  This past Summer, my friend shared one of her favorite soup recipes with me.  It sounded simple and yummy, I knew I'd be making itas soon as the seasons changed.  This past weekend, I finally tried it out!  Tasty and hearty, our entire family enjoyed it!  It will become a favorite in the months to come!

 

Spinach Ziti Soup

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbls olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 tbl garlic, chopped
• 1- 10 oz pkg fresh spinach, chopped (stems removed) or frozen chopped spinach
• 1 tsp dill
• 1 tsp parsley
• 1 tsp italian seasoning
• 2- 28 oz cans crushed tomatoes, pureed
• 4-6 cups vegetable or chicken stock
• 1/2 lb ziti

Directions:

1. Sauté onion, garlic and spinach in oil until done.
2. Add stock, tomatoes, and herbs. Simmer.
3. Cook ziti separately. Drain
4. I would suggest that you leave the pasta out even for leftovers, so it doesn't absorb the liquid.
5. Top with parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper and serve with a slice - or a hunk of crusty bread!
