This is a traditional Portuguese soup, my grandma used to make this soup when we were young. I have used the traditional method but also used my own creative ideas to make this broth more delicious and one of my ultimate comfort foods.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 bay leaf
1 large onion, finely chopped
4-5 large potatoes, par-boiled
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2-3 handfuls of baby spinach
2 tbsp basmati rice (not cooked)
4-5 spaghetti sticks, broken into smaller pieces
1 chicken or vegetable stock cube, dissolved in boiling water
Salt & Pepper for seasoning
Olive oil for drizzle
Dried onion for garnish
Method:
1. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil, fry the garlic and onions, until translucent. Add the bay leaf.
2. Add the potatoes and cook for few minutes. Add the boiling stock.
3. Add the rice and spaghetti. Season well. Bring to boil.
4. Once it starts boiling ,using a masher, mash the potatoes into the broth to make a thick base.
5. Add the spinach, boil until the broth turns lightly green. Check for seasoning. You might want to drizzle more olive oil. If you feel the soup is too thick, boiling water can be added. Cook until rice & noodle are cooked.
6. Season with freshly crushed pepper, drizzle of olive oil and dried onion.
