I made this recipe exactly as written. This is a very good, satisfying soup. Its not fancy, but very substantial and perfect for a Sunday night family supper. What I like about this soup is that one can taste all the different ingredients....the flavors are very clear and distinct and not muddled. Oh, the leftover soup was even better, too. -
Delicious! My husband says it's the best soup he's ever had. -
My husband loved this! The leftovers were even better! I also used two cans of tomatoes instead of one and served with garlic bread! Great recipe! -
This soup is sooooo delicious. My husband raves about it and he doesn't even like spinach! This soup has changed his mind. Great recipe. I love to serve it with sourdough rolls and don't skimp on the Parmesan! I like to add a couple chopped carrots to the recipe. I have the recipe in TOH'S Big Book of Soup and it does call for 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) of diced tomatoes. -
This was really nummy! I totally forgot to thaw my chicken, so by the time I went to make it is was too late. I added some macaroni to the soup to beef it up in place of the chicken. still good!
