This quick and tasty soup combines nutritious ingredients with the flavoring "zings" of jalapeño and lemon.
Directions
  • Using prepared ingredients--frozen spinach, prepared stock and canned garbanzo beans-- makes this soup easy to prepare, but any quick-cooking greens (Swiss chard, beet greens, sorrel) and meaty beans (limas, cannnellini, butter beans) will work as well.
  • In a large pot, heat oil and cook onion and garlic (and jalapeño, if using) over low heat until soft and aromatic (about 10 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, rinse and chop the spinach. When onion is soft, add spinach, stock, pepper, soy sauce, lemon zest and all but 1/2 cup of the beans, raise the heat to medium-high and cook until the spinach has completely wilted (about 5 minutes).
  • Purée, preferably with a hand-held blender right in the cooking pot.  If using a conventional blender or food processer, work in batches to prevent splattering the hot liquid.
  • Taste for seasoning.  Serve hot, garnished with reserved garbanzo beans.
