mame11 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 All, I had the most marvelous soup at Souper Jenny in Atlanta a few weeks ago. It was chock full of greens, and I think the base was a veggie broth and not chicken. It was truly delicious and rich. I am now craving it because I had a bad version of a green soup in Nashville last Friday. The bad version was basically garlic water with some greens. Not even a close imitation to the Souper Jenny green soup. I have looked in all of my cookbooks (from Bittman to the New Way to Eat) and there is not a recipe for a similar type of soup (yes, in Bittman I found a creamy greens soup but the one I am trying to recreate had no cream). An added bonus for the soup is that it was 1 point on Weight Watchers. If you happen to have a recipe for a green soup or can advise me on how to improvise, I will be grateful! Thanks!

Anna Blume Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 While I don't know what you were served, have you ever made the Portuguese caldo verde? Better than it sounds, there's also Judy Rodger's boiled kale. She uses Tuscan/lacinato/dinosaur kale, or cavolo nero. The first online recipe I found is conveniently at the end of an article that lists recipes that may be of interest: Eat Your Greens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mame11 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Thanks AB... a call into Souper Jenny might help me on my quest to recreate the soup. According to the helpful person the ingredients are basically: spinach asparagus artichoke zucchini garlic onion veggie broth you cook and then puree... reheat to serve. I have no idea how to make soup, much less improvise one up but I am going to try tomorrow night! Ideas welcome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
