We just loved this tasty and delicious soup! The only spinach pasta I could fine was penne. Rather than the ground meat, I decided to use soy crumbles, which worked out really well. This soup was hearty and filling and had a really unique flavor from the spices and the sour cream. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill soup for sure! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. Made for Fall PAC 2012.
