Soup Preparation

  • Add Onions, Peppers, Mushrooms & Garlic. Continue cooking until vegetables begin to soften and Garlic is fragrant.
  • Lower cooking temperature to Medium. Add in both cans of Tomatoes, Tomato Paste and 3/4 container of Tomato Juice, 1 tbsp Adobo and Sugar. Stir to incorporate. Place lid on Dutch oven and let simmer for 20 minutes being sure to stir periodically to avoid sticking to bottom.
  • Gently add Spinach into broth and allow to wilt while stirring. Taste to see if additional seasoning is needed.

Ricotta

Serving

  • Ladle Soup into a Bowl, nestle Noodles into Broth, add a generous amount of Mozzarella Cheese and top off with Ricotta Mixture. Serve with Garlic Bread and enjoy!
    ***I keep my pasta separate from broth as it will avoid over cooking the pasta. You can add the pasta directly into the Dutch Oven with soup if preferred.
