Trying to defrost the freezer and needed to use some frozen spinach. This soup helped! We love spice, so I added some cajun seasoning too, giving just the right flavor. Unfortunately my spinach was the fine chopped kind, so the appearance was not very pretty (green potato mud), but the taste was great! Thank you for a very yummy lunch! -
Really liked this recipe!! I added chicken broth and added more water 5 cups verses the 3. I used frozen cubed hash browns to make it easy. I also used 1 can of evaporated milk for the cream. A huge hit and very comforting. Added to my recipe box.

I had a bit of spinach mocking me in the fridge and three sad potatoes in the pantry. Which naturally resulted in a quest for a Potato Spinach Soup recipe. So glad I found this one! My only substitution was half and half cream for the regular cream, but I noted that others had made the same choice with good success. I skipped the cheese (when I discovered my kids had eaten every bit of cheese in the fridge...) and showered my soup with freshly ground black pepper instead. This was an amazingly simple and comforting soup for a chilly day. -
I cut this recipe in half and it made 2 good sized bowls of delicious soup. I was out of cream so I used whole milk and it was still a 5 star. My husband is not well and he loved it. Little did he know how good it was for him! lol

Tried this recipe and it is yummy! I added carrots and used milk instead of cream. Still tasted delicious! Definitely a must try :-)

I subbed half of the water with chicken broth, then followed the recipe exactly up until the very end. After the cream, I added two splashes of lemon juice and lightly seasoned the top with cajun seasoning, then I stirred and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. It was absolute perfection! I called it potato zing soup and served it at work. It was a huge hit!

I added carrots, 2 cubes of chicken broth (or two cups), 2 cups of pork chop (from the previous night!), and a couple shakes of Cajun! This was so flavorful it didn't need salt, and it wasn't too salty :D Happy cooking! -

I am giving it 5 stars because I think this is a very tasty, easy, healthy and flexible recipe. I used 10 small spring onions as I ran out of regular onions, 1 celery leaf (was afraid of too much celery flavour but I could have well used 2), only about 2 tbsp of butter, 2 cups of fresh spinach, no parmesan and no cream, milk instead. It turned out delicious and I am sure it is very healthy. I always look for healthy soup recipes without msg/flavour cubes, etc. We had it for lunch with toasted garlic baguette but it is also great just on its own. This is a great recipe and I recommend it to everyone! Thanks for posting!
