This is a very good soup. My entire family loved it. The fresh spinach was very mild and did not overpower the flavors even though there is an entire bag in the recipe. My picky 6 year old even asked for seconds (that's when I knew it was a keeper). It's pretty for the holidays with the green spinach & red tomatoes. This one will stay in my family cookbook to be used again & again!
