This recipe starts with white meat ground chicken. Super lean. But, cooked the right way, also Super Flavorful. You want to sear the meat in a soup pot – and I mean SEAR. Sear it real good. Sear it so that you create a lot of brown stuff in the pan…brown meat, with caked-on brown drippings all over the bottom and sides of the pan. Brown = Goodness. Brown = Flavor. These pictures do not do ‘brown’ justice. When you start to worry it has gotten too brown…brown it some more! Ok, you get the picture 🙂

Next, add in the onion and garlic and cook them down with the beautifully browned meat. Then, add in the tomato paste and oregano and mix in. Let it cook down and get more browned! This recipe uses tomato paste vs. tomato sauce or tomatoes because I LOVE the depth of flavor you get and the sauce is primarily creamy with this deep deep tomato flavor backdrop. We are layering deep flavors on top of deep flavors.

Stir in the flour and mix to fully combine. Let cook another few minutes to once again…get browned. Then add in the broth and stir until fully combine and the soup starts to thicken.

I love to add a little something cool and tangy to a hot soup and a simple dollop of sour cream slightly stirred on top does the trick beautifully. I also love to add something special to garnish and give more texture, so in this soup, Pistachios are amazing!

Ingredients

16 oz Ground Chicken, white meat free range, raised without antibiotics
1 tbls Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Onion, diced or 1 small onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbls Tomato Paste
½ cup All Purpose White Flour
5 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
¼ tsp Dried Oregano, crushed
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1 teaspoon Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
¼ cup Sour Cream
2 tbls Pistachio Nuts, shelled and chopped

Instructions

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Chop the Pistachio Nuts.
Set all aside.
To a preheated large soup pot, add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, then the ground chicken. Break up the meat with a spatula or spoon. Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of fresh ground pepper.
Stir the chicken until brown on all sides. Let it get REALLY brown on the bottom of the pan, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and Oregano. Cook stirring so that the onion and garlic don’t burn, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the Tomato Paste and stir to mix. Cook another 4-5 minutes until the mixture starts getting even more browned.
Add the flour to the meat and onions and stir to mix it in. Then add the 5 cups broth to the pot and stir. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
Partially cover so steam can escape and cook for 30 minutes, stirring every 5-7 minutes. The mixture will get thick and creamy.
Add the spinach leaves to the pot and stir in. Test again for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with sour cream, pistachio nuts and fresh ground pepper.
