Chicken Soup Minestra

minestra with lentils and spinich

This is a meal with a mix of a little of this and that!

I always have chicken soup in the freezer (broth, veggies and chicken). I wanted to spice it up:

I added one cup of dry lentils (simmer on medium for thirty minutes)

Then added a bag of fresh spinach (simmer for three minutes)

I added leftover smoked gouda and fresh mozzarella from a dinner party (I had cubed before packing in freezer).

salt, fresh ground pepper and red chili flakes to taste!

Today, it’s lunch with my interns! Serve with your favorite crusty bread!

a presto,

maria
