I had to alter it a little since i didn't have half and half. I used evaporated milk instead and it tasted very good. I enjoy this and the left over tasted even better for some reason... :)

This recipe is good except I would cut the bouillon down to 2 cubes, add 1 cup of thinly sliced mushrooms that have been sauteed in butter, and top off the soup with 1/2 cup champagne or dry white wine. This is how the local Italian restaurant does it - and it is heavenly

Very good soup! I made a few changes though. I sauteed the onion until soft and then added water and bullion. Then I added two large chopped potatoes and about 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper. I skipped the flour part mostly because I didn't want to dirty more dishes (I have a 5 month old baby and no time). I used 1lb of fresh spinach and added it to the soup once potatoes were soft. After spinach was wilted I blended the whole thing with a hand blender until smooth. We ate it with grated parmesan cheese. Really great and so healthy!

This was delicious! I followed the recipe to the letter, and it was a huge hit. I made a batch for my retired parents, and they also loved it. Thanks for sharing!

Made this soup today, it is very delicious has a nice creamy taste. I made some changes I use fat free milk instead of the half and half to cut down on the the fats. Also, I did not have frozen spinach but I had fresh spinach so I chop it very good and it was OK to cook with. Other than that I fix this recipe as written. This is a keeper!!!

My husband said it was perfect the way it was but I think it was little rich. I deviated from the recipe as follows: I sauteed 1 cup of onion with about 3 large cloves of garlic in olive oil then added the frozen spinach, water, and a few chicken bullion cubes. After that cooked for a while I added the entire carton of half n half which was 4 cups, and some pepper. I melted some butter and added flour to it and whisked, then added it to the rest of the soup. Brought that to a boil and served a few minutes later. Oh and I added about 1 more cup of water to make up for the extra cream. Pretty good! I want to try fresh spinach next time. I also think it might be good with some diced tomatoes.

Delish!! I used cream instead of half-and-half and forgot to thaw the spinach ahead of time. My husband thought it was a bit watery (aka, thin) but that could have been b/c I didn't thaw the spinach. Either way, it's rich and yummy!!!
