Cookbook Recipe #46
I saw this cookbook at Barnes and Noble awhile back. I saw on the cover that it was a restaurant that Rachael Ray had been to on her show Tasty Travels. I also love soup so naturally I picked it up and thumbed through it. The cookbook is really well done in that all the pictures make the soup look amazing. I did not realize until after I bought the book that the restaurant The Soup Box, is actually in Chicago. Although 99% of the recipes in the book contain onions, as most soups do, so I do not know if I would actually like the soups at the restaurant.
For some reason I have been wanting to try a chicken florentine type of recipe so I thought this would be perfect. I changed up the original recipe as always. I used frozen spinach instead of fresh, I used cheese tortellini instead of spinach and cheese, and I left out the onion and celery. I also added another cup of broth because I like my soup a little thinner. The soup came out soooo good. I would have to say it is one of the best soups I have made in a long time.
Roasted Chicken Florentine Soup
Adapted from The Soup Box Cookbook

I have 291 cookbooks and a majority of them I haven’t cooked from. I subscribe to about 20 daily emails of recipes and cooking blogs, which is where I get most of the recipes I make. What is the use of having 291 cookbooks if I am not going to use them? So this is my challenge, to cook at least one recipe a week from a different cookbook until I have used all of my cookbooks. On this blog I will share the one new recipe I make from my cookbooks as well as other recipes I make on a daily basis.
