I LOVE this recipe!!! I was searching for a way to use the spinach that I got from my CSA since I'm not a huge fan of spinach. This recipe was so wonderful that I'll actually be BUYING spinach from now on! My grocery didn't have little smokies when I went - too close to Christmas, I guess - so I used little polskas and, and I've said before, it was GREAT! Thanks for such a healthy, hearty, yummy soup!

Delicious! I used all chicken broth for this and omitted the cubes, I used smoked kielbasa sausage instead of little smokies as did Chef Erfolg, increased the garlic, and added crushed red pepper flakes for some heat, this soup turned out simply wonderful, yes total comfort food served with crusty rolls, thanks for another winner Carole, DH and myself enjoyed this soup last night for dinner!...Kitten:)
