Great recipe! I did make changes in preparation beginning with sauteeing the onion & fresh garlic and then adding chicken broth instead of the water. I did not thaw the spinach but did puree the spinach/broth/onion mixture before adding the cream base. To cut fat I substituted 1 1/2 cups of half-and-half with a can of evaporated milk. We will definitely be making this a lot -- easy and very satisfying. Thanks for a great recipe.
My husband made this soup and it turned out delicious! The taste reminded me of my mother's homemade creamed spinich just more "soupy." My only suggestion is if you're making it for more than two adults double the recipe. 2 adults and one 7 year old finished this off in one sitting. We will make it again and we WILL double the recipe. Thanks!
I loved this soup! I used 2Tbls. of chicken base as I didn't have the chicken granules and part fat free half and half. The taste was still great. The next time I will use all fat free. I purchased the chicken base from Sam's club. Don't add salt if you use it, as it can be quite salty.
Hmmm interesting. Good for something new. I sautteed the onions and fresh garlic then added the water and spinach( didn't bother to thaw) simmered then added 2.5 cups whole milk and pureed. I omitted the butter/flour roux. It needs plenty of salt and pepper about 1 ts of each. And what I learned is...do not puree! Follow the recipe on that. Purreing it made the spinach kinda in your face while before it was milder. But the butter/flour part can be omitted...use a TB of flour or so if you want to thicken it. What I dislike about it( probably my own fault for pureeing) was that it seemed very rich even without the butter/flour. I'll try again with 2 cups milk 3 cups water and not pureeing. Update: Ok if you were disappointed in this like I was stop eating and FREEZE! The reheated leftovers are SO much better! The spinach and milk taste much more blended together. I loved this for breakfast with Triscuits( No affliation I just love Triscuits) crushed in and a little cheese on top...I'm usually not a fan of topping soups with stuff but it so works for this. Parmesan and Monterrey Jack were both great.
This was super. I used a little real onion minced finely instead of dried stuff but you have to mince it finely. Added a pinch of cayenne powder & grated some nutmeg in it. Super yummo!
Very good. Used fresh garlic some fresh herbs and some finely diced roasted red peppers to give it more flavor. Gets better the longer it sits.
I used fresh spinach and fat free half and half. WOW! This is so good and beyond nutritious
omg this recipe is awesome!! my husband and I totally love it! Thanks for such an awesome recipe. I did do a couple of things different but didn't deviate from the recipe much. I just added more garlic then called for and added some parsley because we like parsley in our soups. Thanks so much for an awesome recipe. We will definitly make this recipe again and try different veggies!! Thanks again!
Every Wednesday I try a new recipe for soup. This is one of the really good recipes. My husband thought it great. Thanx for the recipe.
I found this disappointing and quite bland. Had to add garlic croutons bacon pieces and parmesan cheese on top to make it interesting.
