LOVED IT!!! so did my husband who doesn't like spinach. He had seconds. This recipe is quick, easy and delicious!

4 stars as is, 5 stars w/minced garlic & parmesan added(to taste).

I used half and half and blended all the spinach. It turned out to be a really creamy and flavorful soup. I will make this again.

This soup was sooo good! I've never been a fan of cooked spinach in any form, but my husband made this and it was delicious. Even our 4 year old daughter liked it! We added about 2 medium sized shredded carrots to the spinach and only used about 2 cups of milk. Thanks for the great recipe!

The best Cream of Spinach soup that I have ever had. I couldn't believe how delicious such an easy recipe was. I used half and half instead of milk and sauteed minced garlic in the butter. I also used fresh spinach and used an immersion blender right in the pot. I finished it off with parmesan cheese. The only thing I would do differently next time is use more spinach. Other than that, it was perfect.

I am a "semi"-vegetarian, meaning I try to avoid eating meat most of the time. My husband, a carnivore, strongly believes that this soup needs chunks of chicken. I hate to say this, but: I agree. That said, this soup was VERY good, and I can see how it would make a great pasta sauce too, (as commented by other reviewers). Next time, I will save some leftover rotisserie chicken to throw in.

This soup was nice and easy but my husband didn't think it was thick enough. On reading the other reviews, I think this could have been because I used semi-skimmed milk but that's all we ever have in the house, so next time I may add more flour to make it thicker.

Very tasty and easy to make! Even the kids ate it. I put this soup in a cheesy bread bowl it made it awesome!!!

I liked this recipe. I only made it once, but it seemed a little too soupy. I decided next time I'll probably use half and half suggested by other reviews.

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!

Excellent soup! Nobody in my family is a big spinach lover, but this was a true hit. Even my 16-month old loved this one! I cut down on butter and only used 1.5 tablespoons.

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.

The other spinach soup I rated was the wrong one. This is the good one. Substituted a little finely minced onion for the dried. Grated a little nutmeg into it and used chicken broth instead of water & bouillon. This was EXCELLENT!!!!

I normally make Creamy Spinach Soup on this site but decided to change off. Even though the ingredients in both are ALMOST identical we much prefer Creamy Spinach Soup - it had more flavor - maybe because it uses real onions and uses half and half instead of milk. I did use 2 cups of milk in this one and 1 cup of heavy cream but it just wasn't quite as good as Creamy Spinach Soup. Only 8 people have reviewed that soup but 8 out of 8 gave it a 5. So if you are health conscious use this one - for a richer version use the other!!! Thanks submitter.

Wow this soup is awesome! I made some changes based on other reviews... First I put 1.5 cups of water and 2 veggie bullion cubes in the micro for 5 mins. In the meantime, I melted about a tbs. of butter on the stove, and sauteed half a red onion and 2 garlic cloves, I had to add about a tbs. of water also. Then I added the 1/4cup flour (only had whole wheat, worked fine). It got kind of crumbly but worked fine. When the water and bullion was almost boiling in the micro, I took it out and poured it into the blender with about half a big bag of fresh spinach and blended that up. I wisked in the 3 cups (skim) milk into the pot with the onion/garlic/flour, added fresh gr. pepper, a little salt (the bullion is salty enough)and a couple dashes of nutmeg and paprika. Turned it up high to boil and thicken for a couple minutes, wisking constantly. Then poured in the spinach mixture and that was it. So easy, fast, and good! Wasn't thick, like a creamy soup, but still excellent! Great way to get rid of the extra spinach before it goes bad.

I have made this recipe a few times, and each time it comes out excellent. The only thing I changed is that I use two bouillon cubes instead of three, as well as two tablespoons butter instead of three, because it tends to be very, very rich otherwise.

I added some rice to the soup to make it more filling, and it was wonderful. It made enough to share with neighbors and they want the recipe too!
