OMG, I have been looking for this recipe for at least two decades! A Department store in Mobile, AL served this in their tea room and I loved it but could never find the recipe. The only thing I changed was i left out the condensed soup. I prefer a thinner consistency or a more broth like soup for this particular one. Leaving out the condensed soup made it perfect and I am glad I lived long enough to find this recipe (I am 70 yrs old). Thank you, thank you, thank you! I give it 5 stars.

I tried this recipe but added sundried tomatoes,a clove of garlic and garbanzo beans instead of pasta, used my pressure cooker for 15 min and it really was wonderful.

This is quick 'n easy, yet it tastes and feels like it's homemade from scratch. Not wanting to cook my pasta separately, I brought the tomato broth mixture to a boil, added 1/4c dry pasta and cooked until al dente. Then I reduced the heat to low, added about 8 oz of fresh baby spinach, torn, and cooked until wilted. Will definitely be making this one again.

I think this is a great soup! It tastes great as is and you can change things up and it is still good! I usually add about 1/2 cup of sliced carrots, a 1/2 cup of sliced celery, and extra pasta! We also garnish with parmesan cheese. I call it my popeye soup, because it is so healthy!

Yummy! I've been looking for a Tomato Florentine soup close to the one I had at a little bagel shop I used to work for, this one came very close, and my husband loved this! I used small shell pasta and with the condensed soup I was a little weirded out since I don't like it so I tasted the soup and added the condensed a little at a time, ended up using about 1/2 a can of the soup. Next time I'll just leave it out and use a can of tomato sauce. Thanks for the recipe.

It was alright. I think I should have used a smaller pasta and put less of it. I felt like there was enough soup juice when I made it.

Tomato Florentine is one of my favorite soups. Thank you so much Marbalet! I used acini di pepe and bouillon cubes, but other than that followed to a letter... It's perfect.

I made this exactly as the recipe directs. It was so good and very easy. If you don't like a lot of spinach, you may not want to add all of the spinach, as the recipe yields a generous amount. I will for sure make this again!

Great Soup, Easy to make. I added four (4) Italian Sausage Links; chopped up for extra flavor. Would highly recommend. I par-boiled the sausage-then quick browned and then chopped into small pieces.
