Instructions

  1. Sauté the Trinity:

    • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
    • Sauté the chopped onion, celery, and carrot together until they become tender and aromatic, forming the flavorful base of the soup.


    2. Prep the Mushrooms:

    • In a separate pan, sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are golden brown and tender. Set aside.


    3. Simmer the Soup:

    • Once the trinity is sautéed, add the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes to the pot.
    • Stir in the chopped spinach, cubed potato, cubed zucchini, and sautéed mushrooms.
    • Season the soup with salt, pepper, and curry powder, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
    • Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let it cook uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.


    4. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Ladle the hot soup into bowls, filling each with a generous portion of vegetables and flavorful broth.
    • For an extra indulgence, sprinkle each bowl with 100 calories worth of shredded aged sharp cheddar cheese. Watch it melt into the hot soup for a deliciously creamy finish.
