I have made this recipe twice, and I love it. There are several things I did the second time around that made it better (all gathered from other reviewers) 1. I used about 1 lb of fresh spinach and blended the spinach mixture. 2. Used 2 cups milk & 1 cup heavy cream 3. Used fresh onion and garlic 4. Added a dash of Celery Salt, Cayanne Pepper, nutmeg, and thyme 5. Mixed in about 1/4 cup Parmasean Cheese. Most of these ideas came from other reviews. Combining them all together makes a really good soup (and not bland at all).

This is delicious, and the perfect compliment is shredded parmesan cheese. It's great with toasted garlic bread. Like others I caramelized red onion in the butter, added a few red pepper flakes, and used chicken stock instead of the water and boullion. Also I threw the cooked spinach and broth and a cup of the cold milk in the blender (be careful after you initially start the blender with the lid on as you need to allow the steam to escape or the blender might explode).

Excellent soup. I used half and half (in place of milk), veg. "chicken" boullion, fresh spinach, and also threw in some brocoli. Put half the mixture in the blender for variation of texture. I was able to get my kids to eat their spinach & brocoli! Can't wait to make it again...thanks!

Yummmmmmy! I used fresh spinach and also sauted a little onion and mushrooms. Used 1% milk and it thickened just fine. Also added 3/4 tsp. mild curry powder, 1 & 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 white pepper. Great recipe!!! Thanks!

We absolutely love this recipe! We've made it many times, and it turns out great every time. The only thing we do different, is to put the spinach/bouillon/water mixture into the food processor after it has cooked, until smooth and pretty green. We like the looks a little better, and then you don't have strings of spinach hanging over your spoon while eating. :) Great recipe and perfect with a loaf of fresh french bread or cornbread!

OMG, this is so good. I have made this soup sooo many times! I've use just broccoli; 1/2 broccoli 1/2 spinach; combo of broccoli and cauliflower; cauliflower, broccoli and spinach. I have used chopped, whole and fresh spinach and had good results each time. I don't really measure, it's just what I have on hand. Never fails and always comes out good. Usually when I add broccoli to the spinach or cauliflower it just tastes like cream of broccoli. Also, I usually put 1/2 cup frozen chopped onions in with the veggies and don't use the minced onions at the end. I also use a hand blender and make the soup nice and creamy. It's such a quick and easy soup. I always have the stuff on hand so I can whip it up in a moments notice.

Excellent recipe! I don't know what else to say but it was fast, easy, and so delicious! THANKS! UPDATE: I wanted to say here it is more then 5 years after I rated this the 1st time, and I still make this soup and people still LOVE it! I use fresh onions and garlic in it and its just such a great soup! Oddly, wonderful over pasta!!! Yes, you read that right, its a super light sauce for pasta and with a bit of Pecorino Romano or Parmesan Cheese, its a quick perfect dish!

oh Lordie!! i was just surfing around ALLRECIPES for spinach recipes and encountered this. i had some frozen cut-leaf spinach and a ton of milk that was gonna go bad in 2 days so i said, "why not? it got good ratings". so i busted out all the ingredients. and mind you, the milk i had was the 1% milk fat, lowfat milk so i was expecting it to taste mediocre since it wasn't heavy cream or anything. but to my surprise it was wonderful!! i was even hesitant since it used water and chicken bouillon but the taste was so good, even better than the can! the one thing that i changed was that i used 2 chicken bouillon and 1 veggie bouillion and added a little water (2 TB) and cornstarch (1 TB) to make it even thicker. (i love thick soup). i also used frozen cut leaf spinach since i didn't have the whole chopped frozen spinach but i liked it even better because the spinach was more tender. so overall this recipe gets 5 kick-ass stars!!

Has a nice mellow flavour. I used fresh spinach and one cup of cream. Definately for spinach lovers. mmm...

A great recipe. I used a 10 oz. package of frozen spinach and substituted fat-free creamer, but otherwise stuck to the recipe, and the flavor was just marvellous. Oh yes, and I used about four cloves of garlic, too. This made great leftovers the next day.
