Creamy Spinach, Bacon & Mushroom Soup

A little smoky bacon, a lot of earthy mushrooms and a silky spinach broth give this old family-style soup some grown-up dinner-party energy. The lemony garlic and balsamic finish keep every rich spoonful from feeling too heavy.
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 6 servings
Course: Soups & Salads

Ingredients
  

Method
 

  1. Cook bacon in a Dutch oven until crisp. Transfer it to a plate, leaving one tablespoon of drippings in the pot. Add Ellbee's Bacon Organic Olive Oil, mushrooms and onion, then cook until the mushrooms are deeply browned.
  2. Stir in Ellbee's Lemon Zest Gourmet Garlic and flour. Cook for one minute, then gradually whisk in the broth. Simmer until lightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat and stir in half-and-half, spinach, Ellbee's Champagne Balsamic Vinegar and Parmesan. Cook just until the spinach wilts, then return the bacon to the pot and season to taste.

Notes

Time: 40 min
Kitchen tip: Serve with a thick slice of toasted sourdough to catch the last bit of creamy broth.
