Heat some olive oil in a soup pot.
Add the following as you get done chopping them:
Onion
Thumb size piece of ginger (completely unnecessary, but it was about to go bad so I thought I'd use it)
Somewhere between 10 and 30 cloves of garlic, depending on your preference, smashed with the side of a knife, peels removed. (You can smash with the peels on, and pick them out easily apres-smash.)
Bag of baby carrots. They don't need to be chopped too fine.
Saute all this for 10 minutes or so.
Add some italian spices
Approximately 6 cups of chicken broth and water
Bring to a boil, let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Blend the soup, using an immersion blender.
Take 1 lb. ground beef, form it into small chunks with your hands, and add to the soup. Let it go on a low boil for about 15 minutes, then add some big handfuls of spinach. Simmer until wilted.
Sooooo good. If you like garlic. And all the other ingredients.
