The recipe had lots of flavor and was pretty on the plate. I used a 10oz box of frozen spinach (thawed & sqeezed dry) instead of fresh. I stirred as I added small amounts of liquid and didn't use the full amount. I probably had a cup of stock that went unused. My result wasn't "soupy", but it was done and delicious. I also added 1/2 cup of diced sun dried tomatoes when I added the spinach & basil. Served with Recipe #178839 Made for ZWT4.
