Deadline Soup or Minestra di Spinaci (Spinach Soup)
1 1/2 lbs fresh spinach (or 2 10-ounce packages frozen spinach) washed and chopped (Believe me,
the frozen works absolutely great)
6 C chicken broth
3 cloves crushed garlic - or more or less or whatever you like. (We use much more.)
1/2 C long-grain rice
1/2 t ground nutmeg (works with or without)
1 T fresh lemon juice
Pepper
Salt
1/4 C grated Locatelli Romano cheese
Place broth, garlic, and spinach in large pot. Bring to boil, add rice, nutmeg, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and simmer until the rice is
cooked.
Serve hot with Romano cheese and pepper.
This is so good you would think you'd spent hours slaving over a hot stove. Quick and
delicious: exactly what you need when time is at a premium and there's a chapter begging to be written.
