Wife and daughter LOVED this soup. I did add 32 oz of chicken broth, 2 bouillon cubes, about 1 1\/2 lbs of chicken breasts and 6 FULL cups of fresh spinach. A keeper!<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"01\/04\/2013 11:01","GUID":"0f8417ba6c65409d853a8bbffceb92b4","MemberId":5637920,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Tom Brezzy","SubmittedDate":"01\/04\/2013 11:00"},{"Comment":"
Wife and daughter loved it. A keeper. Will make again on another cold winters day. I did add extra chicken broth (32 oz) and was a little heavier on the spinach, plus 2 cubes of chick broth.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"01\/04\/2013 11:01","GUID":"0f8417ba6c65409d853a8bbffceb92b4","MemberId":5637920,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Tom Brezzy","SubmittedDate":"01\/04\/2013 10:55"},{"Comment":"
Wow, my family loved this! If I could give it 10 stars I would. Easy to half since there's only three of us with leftovers for lunch the next day. Have passed this recipe on to several coworkers also<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"10\/08\/2012 16:30","GUID":"cf8dd2ce07fc45c78b4b6037220d9c38","MemberId":5083070,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"catweber","SubmittedDate":"10\/08\/2012 16:30"},{"Comment":"
This is one of our favorite soups. I do use the ground Italian turkey sausage instead for a healthier version. I think it is a very attractive soup to serve with all the various colors.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"01\/17\/2012 12:03","GUID":"2b685bd9ba05485ba7dc5df3dd231861","MemberId":2560316,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"pdhughes","SubmittedDate":"01\/17\/2012 12:03"},{"Comment":"

One of our favorite soups. We use ground mild Italian sausage and sometimes leave out the chicken. We also add an extra can or two of chicken broth to make it a little soupier.

This soup was very good with lots of flavor! It was easy to make and did not take alot of prep time. I let it simmer a little longer than the recipe called for. Turned out great first time around.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"03\/02\/2009 20:58","GUID":"0C131DC22AC54957882F04E5F7F4F1D1","MemberId":976383,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"eagleswingz","SubmittedDate":"03\/02\/2009 21:00"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"07\/10\/2008 18:37","GUID":"1AE92D8774C343D6A6658CD493225FD4","MemberId":350671,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sandraalvis","SubmittedDate":"07\/10\/2008 18:37"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"06\/01\/2008 11:12","GUID":"530ba788b7344bd7824783a97674e3af","MemberId":1554721,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ruspa2","SubmittedDate":"06\/01\/2008 11:12"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"03\/07\/2008 01:45","GUID":"44b02038da374e7685af170e9c9deeb3","MemberId":1853059,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jennifer","SubmittedDate":"03\/07\/2008 01:45"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"02\/13\/2008 09:40","GUID":"B70763EF8FB3493F9318C036752B7CE0","MemberId":1418050,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sarah2007","SubmittedDate":"02\/13\/2008 09:40"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":24,"DateRated":"10\/10\/2006 12:33","GUID":"ccfda903d1a1410db1657005f1b62b9d","MemberId":1564375,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Billi","SubmittedDate":"10\/10\/2006 12:33"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":25,"DateRated":"11\/29\/2005 23:14","GUID":"bd5b7fab06574066b4bc49c8782250f1","MemberId":1009377,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Katie","SubmittedDate":"11\/29\/2005 23:14"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
