This is a soup lovers delight! I made as posted using cream, but I am sure it would be just as good using yogurt or half and half. I thought the spinach looked very appealing as it was so didn't liquidize, although I am sure doing so would make for a lovely creamy soup. Tasting as wonderful as it did I will give liquidizing a go next time around! Thank you for sharing - this has been added to my favorites.
