My 19 year old son loved this and it was easy to make. I made it without the sausage and used homemade unsweetened almond milk. thanks for the recipe

This soup was delicious! I added mashed cauliflower and mushrooms and it was delicious! I will definitely be making this again.

I loved this recipe. Very flavorful. I used leftover baked potato, extra fresh spinach, and pork sausage not in links. I removed everything from the pan then did the sausage separately to allow it to brown and let me break it up better. Then I added the rest back in. I tried it without milk or blending first. Yummy. Then I added 2 c of 2% milk and puréed it with an immersion blender. It was a little too thin, but sti delicious. Next time I'll start with 1c milk and add to desired consistency. My 2 and 4 yr olds did a fast test and liked the milk/purée version better. We will serve this again!

Can't believe I forgot to rate this! It is soooo good!! Instead of sausage I used recipe #69173, only because I didn't have any sausage on hand. I also added just a light grating of nutmeg. Thanks for sharing..it's a keeper!

This was a great Saturday night soup that I made last week. Sorry I'm just now getting a chance to review it. I used milk, instead of cream. I added the spinach and sausage back to the soup puree (with my stick blender). To be a little bit creative, I made my sausage into little meatballs. I thought that would be a fun twist on the recipe. Other than that, the recipe was made the same. I don't think I measured exactly on the vegies, but it was close, because I used what I had on hand. Thank you for the wonderful, delicious soup, and this is ALL mine, because my boyfriend doesn't like spinach! Maybe I'll make his serving without the spinach. I know he would love this then. Thank you! :)
