this is the same recipe as in the taste of home cookbook. exact to the "t" first let me start off my stating the chicken broth ratio is way off. i had to have a least added 5 more cups to the pot and it was still wayyyyy to thick. i started off with 2 cups and it left my pot with maybe an inch of broth. the flavor is good. i of course 3X the garlic and added extra dried basil. i use petite diced toms and they were good. i also added maybe about a 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream then the taste was right on. be prepared to add lots of extra broth. thanks for sharing.

This was really good. It was more of a "stoup," but I still thought it was good enough to make again. It's healthy and filling. I didn't have fresh basil so I used dry, mediterranean basil and cut the spinach down some. I also added some red pepper I had just to use it up and it was a great addition. I think you could probably add whatever you want. Next time I might add some mushrooms or zucchini. Thanks for a great recipe!

I JUST finished making this...and even the kids loved it! The aroma is sensational as it is simmering, made my mouth water in anticipation... Instead of using water and bouillon cubes...I used chicken broth and I added mushrooms when I was sauteeing the onion/bell pepper/garlic. Heavenly! I love this and will be making it again. Next time I will double it, as it was such a hit! P.S. I did NOT drain my tomatoes before adding them, the liquid added extra flavor to the dish...and I used the amount of spinach the recipe calls for. I found it a quite nice consistency for a soup!

I don't care to use the bouillon cubes/granules because of the sodium, so I added some vegetable stock instead of the granules and water..Sprinkle w/ grated parmesean cheese right before serving...Also good with adding some thin sliced fresh mushrooms.

Delicious. There is a lot of spinach, but after all, that is what the name implies.

Morris - This is a great recipe !!! I had to do substitutions based on what I had/didn't have. -used dried basil instead of freah -added a small sprig of chopped parsley -had to use home canned tomato juice -used 1/2 the spinach -did add pasta - too much the first time -instead of plain water used the water the pasta was cooked in. You are definitely a genius. Your spices were the best.

I made this pretty much to the recipe, although I added more pepper, some sweet chili powder, cooked pasta shells and used fresh spinach. The taste was lovely and with the pasta it made more of a meal than just a broth.

Like other reviews, we used fresh spinach (approx. 2c). We used Italian style diced tomatoes plus an 8oz. can of no-salt tomato sauce. Since we ate this as our main course, we also added 1/4c small pasta (w/ the tomato mixture) & about ½ c freshly grated Parmesan cheese when the soup is complete. Easy, good & on the table in 30 minutes.

I was looking for a recipe for a soup I saw at Starbucks. I followed the advice of the reviewers who said to add half the spinach, I buy bagged frozen chopped spinach and add to my taste. Then I added a can of tomato soup + one can water and a half a cup of orzo pasta. It was easy and delicious. My husband and daughter loved this soup and the leftovers disappeared quickly the next day. We'll be having this one again soon.

This shoup was good, a little watery for me, and I agree, cut back on the spinach a bit.

Original recipe a bit bland. Added 1 cup of red wine, 1 tbs Worchester & 1 tsp mixed salts. Simmered for 20 min or so, Bingo! Very good.

This is a wonderful soup! Half the package of spinach is the right amount for me. It tastes great with about half a pound of cooked pasta shells too. Very tasty and healthy!

I had to make a substitution for the green peppers since I didn't have any, and instead used a small can of chopped green chilies which gave it some kick! Tasted great, will definately make again.

I use this as a base for any tomato soup I might make. Anything can pretty much be added or taken away from it, except the tomatoes & water.
