Instructions: To begin making the Spinach Tomato Soup Italian Style recipe, heat Olive oil in a pan and once it is hot enough, add crushed garlic and cook for few seconds.Now add chopped onion into the pan and cook for a minute.Once the onion has become translucent, we need to add paprika powder, black pepper powder, oregano and give it a stir.Now add blanched spinach, slightly pureed tomatoes, chopped carrots and salt into the pan.Mix everything well and cook for few seconds. Add the vegetable stock now and stir it again.Now you can add white vinegar if you want to give a tangy twist to this soup otherwise you can skip this step. Let the soup cook on low heat and keep stirring in between.After 15-20 minutes, you will realise that the soup has started thickening and at this point, you can add the boiled pasta and red chili flakes.Do a taste check and see if you need to add more salt or black pepper as per your taste. Now let the soup cook for another 10 minutes and add baby spinach (Blanched). Cook for another 5 minutes and your soup is ready. Serve hot.Serve Spinach Tomato Soup Italian Style along with Garlic bread for a light and delicious dinner.
