  1. This soup is so flavorful – might be my favorite soup recipe. Even picky eaters like it. I often make it for “Meatless Monday”. I use the frozen chopped spinach instead of fresh. No guilt in taking a second helping, either. Thanks for sharing, Amy!

  3. I love this soup so much – I make it all the time and must keep some in the freezer for a quick meal.
    A few things:
    The celery is not listed in the ingredients list – only the instructions…so I just guessed and added a couple of stalks. I substitute the tomato for a container of grape tomatoes (which I cut in half). Super yummy! I use more carrots and more spinach – just a preference. I also use more beans and after they are mashed up, I add a few more cans so that there are some whole too. This is the best soup! It makes a big batch too – I’m not sure exactly how many servings it is.
