SPINACH EGG BROTH

Steps:

• Cut spinach leaves into 1/2-inch strips; set aside. Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden and tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add wine, and cook until evaporated, about 3 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Add stock, 2 cups water, peppercorns, and bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer, and cook 30 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
• Strain stock through a fine mesh strainer, discarding solids. Return strained stock to clean saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Add the beaten eggs, stirring gently so they form long threads. Stir in spinach, and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

SPINACH CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Over high heat, bring chicken broth and water, mustard, and garlic to a simmer. As this is coming to a boil, de-rib and wash the spinach, then tear the leaves into 2-inch pieces. Lightly toast 4 slices of French or Italian bread. When toasted, spread with sundried tomato, pesto or green olive paste.
• When the soup is at a simmer, add the chicken and simmer, uncovered for 2 minutes just to warm through. Then add the spinach leaves, and cook for a few seconds or until the leaves just wilt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Set 2 slices of toasted bread in the bottom of each soup bowl. Remove the soup from the heat, season to taste with salt and pepper and ladle it over the bread.
