This was a pleasant soup. I cheated a little and used frozen chopped spinach and my homemade chicken broth which worked out fine. I also added a shredded chicken breast. Although good, next time I would add more garlic.

Basic's of soup alright, but needed a large amount of modifying to make it a 5 star recipe. We used EVOO instead of vegetable oil,we used more garlic and only a half of a sweet onion. We also used less liquid, using only 2 cans of chicken Broth and no water. I also cut up the spinach and did not use as much as was called for in the recipe. I did not use the Thyme or lemon juice, but used crushed red pepper and rosemary for spices. Also we used two different varieties of white beans, and we did not puree any of the broth and beans, with less liquid it thickened enough for our liking.

We tried a lot of the suggested alterations and gave this a fair shot, and it was still gross.

More celery and garlic. I cooked from dry beans and over cooked them so...I put half in at the beginning and added the other half at the end just to heat thru for a few minutes. I didn't blend just let the beans break down. Instead of spinach I used a lb of frozen collard greens that I nuked before adding to the soup. Also added 2 sausage links to use them up.

Pretty good. I would add at least 4 cloves of garlic in the beginning next time though, but I like alot of garlic. I added garlic powder and a little salt at the end.

I, too, added more garlic - but only because no recipe ever has enough for our taste! I also added chicken soup base to the water and used a hand blender. I agree with other reviewers, the hand blender certainly didn't get the soup puree-smooth, but we liked the thicker, more rustic consistency it produced. Finally, LOVED the surprising burst of flavor from the lemon juice! This is an excellent "starter" recipe, which is very easy to adjust for personal taste, and doesn't set off the kid's "too healthy to be good" radar... Woot!

WOW. One of the best and most flavorful soups I've had. Excellent for the cold weather, but still not too heavy to have any other season. Very refreshing. Go heavy on the thyme.

This is a healthy and simple soup that you can easily modify to suit your taste. I added more spices than it called for, as I think it would be pretty bland as written.
