I have been a bit MIA on the recipe front the past couple weeks and I’ve missed you. How have you been?! J and I made the decision that we were going to move a couple months ago and we had nooo idea how crazzzzy it was going to be apartment-hunting downtown Toronto. Everyone here always talks about the “housing market” but I had no idea that renting a one bedroom (+ den!) apartmentΒ would literally take up all my time. People are actually lining up to see apartmentsΒ (crazy, right?!). Well this week we finally found our perfect home and are moving in next week. The funny thing is, it’s next door to our current place (ha!). I feel super relieved and am also verry excited to start cooking in my brand new kitchen.

Can we also talk about how Spring has finally arrived? The sun was shining and it’s starting to get warmer here. I am hoping we don’t see anymore snow for at least a coupleΒ months now. I think that means it’s time to celebate with Rapini and Garlic Soup. (See how I did that “segway” there, lol?).

I actually started makingΒ this soup a few weeks ago when everyone around me was catching Spring colds. What better way to beat fallingΒ “under-the-weather” than with a soup that is made with TWO whole heads of garlic. And no, that’s not a typo. πŸ˜‰

I’ve included instructions on how to make this soup on the stovetop or in an Instant Pot. Ever since I got my Instant Pot for Christmas last year, it’s been a huge staple in my kitchen and basically all I use to cook with (especially on busy weeknights).

Saute the garlic, onion, herbs, and broccolini in your Instant Pot (or dutch oven). ⇩⇩⇩rapini garlic soup

Add the lemon juice and water. Cook on *manual* for 4 minutes. Release and stir in the pasta… ⇩⇩⇩

Instructions

Insant Pot Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water until al dente (I don’t cook the pasta in the Instant Pot, so it doesn’t get mushy). Drain and set aside.
  2. In the Instant Pot, using the sautΓ© setting, sautΓ© the garlic and onions with a splash of water until soft.
  3. Add the herbs, hot pepper flakes, bouillon, and rapini to the Instant Pot. SautΓ© for one minute.
  4. Add the water, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and pressure cook on the “high pressure” setting for 4 minutes on manual. Use the quick release when the soup is ready.
  5. Stir in the pasta. Taste test and add extra herbs, hot pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Garnish with Vegan Parmesan. Enjoy!

Stovetop Instructions

  1. In a dutch oven, over medium-high heat, sautΓ© garlic and onions with a splash of water until soft.
  2. Add the herbs, hot pepper flakes, bouillon, and rapini to the pot. SautΓ© for one minute.
  3. Add water, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  4. Cover the pot and simmer on low for 20 minutes. Add the uncooked pasta. Cook for an additional 7 – 10 minutes until the pasta is cooked. Add additional water, if necessary. Taste test and add extra herbs, hot pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Garnish with Vegan Parmesan. Enjoy!
