A chef I used to work with made a Spinach soup that was sold out every day. I used to get mine and put it in the frige so I could eat it later!! This soup is just like it except for one thing. He added cream to his, and I did that too. It was marvelous!!! I will be making this a lot.

wow! i was so absolutely certain when i got to the simmering stage that this was going to taste terrible. how wrong i was! delicious and so damn easy to make. i mean, it's essentially stock and spinach - so if you don't like them then stay away, but if you do then get amongst it!

This takes no time at all and is delicious. I used 2 big bags of fresh spinach and steamed it with onion and garlic as I thought it would be healthier. I also added a very small amt of no fat half and half for extra flavor. This is delicious and easy and wonderful!

Really easy, really tasty. I substituted the tarragon for sage though. Just a personal preference.
