Spinach–Mushroom Soup with Herbed Spaetzle
  1. 1

    Whisk the flour, salt, oregano, marjoram, parsley, chives, dill, and pepper together in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and mustard. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined.

  3. 3

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Set a spaetzle maker over the boiling water and pour the spaetzle dough into the slider basket. Move the basket back and forth until pieces of dough drop into the boiling water. Boil the spaetzle until firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.

  4. 4

    Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil, then the onion. Cook the onion gently for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the spaetzle and stir to combine. Cook until the spaetzle is heated through and crisp in spots, 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve right away.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
