Test Kitchen | Bruschetta Pasta with Balsamic Spinach

I had some stuff in the fridge I needed to use from a week of Italian groceries -- cooked pasta, basil, mozzarella, etc. I really wanted to just gobble down pasta and cheese, but more reasonable brain cells prevailed, and decided it'd be best to add some vegetables to the mix. I was also tired from work, and didn't feel like taking lots of time or making loads of dishes. So, I did this all in one pot. I impressed myself with the yumminess-to-laziness ratio on this one.

Recipe | Irish Blue Cheese Soup

I was in Panera the other day and a woman told the cashier that she didn't like soup. The cashier made a funny face and asked who doesn't like soup! Personally, I wouldn't affiliate myself with someone who doesn't like soup. Blasphemy! The Old Man was sick last week so I decided to make a soup that had some flavor, but was quick and easy to make.
