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.

Very good soup! Doubled the amount of pasta. I tasted the soup before I added the condensed soup and without it, I would have given this recipe a full 5 stars.

This soup went from good to great when I added a half cup of cream just before I took it off the stove. Double this recipe to make a fantastic next day snack. You also can't go wrong with some shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top and a slice or two of French bread for dipping. Even those who don't like tomato soup will love this classic.
