This soup is delicious! Great as an appetizer, just place one med-large spinach ravioi in the center of bowl and top with soup for a wonderful color contrast or serve with a salad and some crusty bread for a filling dinner. Great winter dish to warm your bones! For vegetarians who would like to make this soup, you can substitute a light vegetable stock for the chicken stock called for in the original recipe.

Very good! I left out the leeks and added one fried tart apple... delicious!! By the way, how on earth does a recipe that never claimed to be vegetarian warrant a bad review for not being vegetarian? And who finds this helpful?? Sometimes I don't understand you people.
