I wanted to use a thawed box of frozen spinach and thought of creamed spinach - but was out of milk and cream. Followed everything else but with only the one box of spinach and thought it was great. My often finicky mother liked it, too, which was perfect.

Excellent recipe! Only thing is I sauted the garlic ad onion in a tablespoon of butter before adding to the soup. Came out great, had no leftovers!!

I've made this many times over the last few years, always to good reviews. It's a staple of my comfort food menus. Like the others I soften my diced onion in butter before making the roux. I also add some paremsan cheese at the end. One of the keys I think it to really press your spinach dry. If near the end, it's a little thick, I'll add a little milk, cream, or half and half, whichever I have on hand.

I thought that I had added enough spinach (about 1lb) but it still seemed like there was too much "cream" and not enough spinach. It tasted good, the consistency just wasn't what I was hoping for.

I thought this dish was awesome, I also added a few things such as some lowfat cream cheese, garlic salt, mrs dash and substituted dried minced onion for fresh.

This was delicious. I did make a few changes. I cut down on the liquid by a 1/4 and added more spinach than the recipe called for. Everyone raved about this side dish.

This also makes a great alternative to spinach dip when you add parmesan cheese. I did not have any cream of celery soup so I found a recipe and made my own. It was easy and my husband loved it. Much less fat than traditional creamed spinach or spinach dip.

i found this recipe to be way too sweet, and the cream of celery soup overpowered the flavor of the spinach.

I used cream of mushroom soup in this recipe and we didn't really care for it. We found the ratio of soup mixure to spinach to be too high; all we could taste was cream of mushroom soup. My hunt for a really great creamed spinach recipe is still on :(
