What a wonderful soup! I worried when I added all that spinach, but it quickly cooks down and what's left is as promised: a hearty meatless soup (I needed a Lenten soup, not vegetarian). Tasted great with and without the cream--I actually used half 'n' half, which I added to the pot before serving, not as a garnish, since this was a large church event. I also used barley instead of irish (steel-cut) oatmeal. Just didn't have time to find some. I look forward to cooking per instructions next time (using oatmeal) although barley was a fine substitute. Family and friends all agreed it was a tasty fare.
