  1. This was great. Instead of using creamed spinach, I used 2 small bags of fresh spinach (added at the end of the cook time). I also added 1 chicken bullion cube for extra flavor. This is a fast hearty and healthy recipe. Thanks for sharing with us.
     
  2. Very easy to make and yummy.
     
  3. Great recipe! Very easy too which is always a plus. I could not find creamed spinach anywhere, so I used 1 package of frozen chopped spinach and a couple dollops of cream cheese. I now keep all of these ingredients on hand for quick weekday meals. Thanks!
     
  4. Verry good. I used Knorr kosher veg soup mix which is a larger pouch than the 1 1/2 oz so I doubled everything and made a nice big pot. I also used dried tortellini since I had them on hand so I cooked them in another pot but flavored the water with veg boullion cubes. The only thing I didn't love was the knorr soup. The flavor was nice but I didn't like the little bits of dried out veggies in it. I may try this with other veg soup mixes that dont have actual veggies and then add some peas and carrots to the soup pot as I think they would be a great additon. Overall, this was a very yummy soup and so simple to make. Stouffers makes the BEST creamed spinach and it was a great idea to use it here. Using the dried tortellini means that I can keep these ingredients on hand all the time for unexpected company or unexpected lazyness. Thanks so much for posting this. Oh, this was enough of a meal for us but it would be very good with garlic bread on the side.
     
  5. We really liked this! I also substituted the creamed spinach with frozen leaf spinach and 1/2 cup of cream. This recipe is so quick...we will definately keep this one around.

Hello. I, like many of us, once aspired to be a chef..but later realized I wanted to keep it as my passion, instead of making it "work". Currently I live in Houston with my homecookin guinea pig, Walker. I work in recruiting by day, and enjoy many hobbies outside of work such as gardening, cooking, volunteer work, golf and enjoying the houston nightlife. My advice as a cook is don't be scared to go outside of the "norm" every once in a while, you just might find something you've been missing! I always try to shop by a list, but I also always leave room for one new ingredient. Stuff you see all the time and wonder what it's for or what it tastes like, particularly different fruits and veggies and sauces and marinades. Usually if you buy it, you can "google up" a recipe later on. I'm a frugal shopper and love finding "more bang for your buck" kind of recipes; but we also try to eat meats and produce that is free of hormones and chemicals. I freeze a lot so that we dont waste food, since there's only two of us, and I also will recycle last nights food into tonights.
