You can make this vibrant, near-instant, green soup with ingredients you tend to have on hand—and come out with something intensely flavored that you’ve never tasted before. It's all thanks to the great Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat author and teacher Samin Nosrat, and a fateful cleanse she embarked on in the desert. “The rules of the cleanse turned everything I’d learned about classical cooking upside down,” Samin wrote for The New York Times Magazine. “Without potatoes, flour, other starches, or dairy to lean on, I had to look elsewhere to thicken and enrich the soup.” The answer: nutty, smoky tahini.
Ingredients
  • subheading: For the sauce:
  • ¼ cup well-stirred tahini
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 large garlic clove, finely grated or pounded to a smooth paste
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • subheading: For the soup:
  • 7 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
  • 12 ounces baby spinach (about 12 packed cups)
  • 4 cups roughly chopped cilantro (from 2 large bunches)
  • ¼ cup well-stirred tahini
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more as needed
