"Another recipe from my DD's culinary school, which I have rewritten the directions and given approximate times for. This soup sounds interesting to me. Could be changed to a vegetarian soup easily by replacing the chicken broth with vegetable stock."

Love spinach in salads,dips and side dishes so no surprise that this soup was enjoyed! Have been picking up large bags of baby spinach seeing as it has that wonderful fresh taste these past weeks. A soup that has already seen to a repeat so know it's one of those soup recipes that can take juggling with the added veggies! Decided to do as the previous reviewer and added a bit of garlic - just because it's another favorite of mine. A grinding of sea salt and freshing round pepper - perfect. Added to my family soup cookbook.
