     THE SODIUM CONTENT IS OUTRAGEOUS....EVEN FOR A HEALTHY PERSON!!!! - 3/5/09

     I am going to use low sodium vegetable broth and skip the avocado. - 3/5/10

     If you criticizers look carefully the recipe notes 3 cups bullion - if you take 3 cups of DRY bullion this will give you that crazy sodium count. Everyone is so quick to criticize instead of actually giving something a try. - 3/20/09

     You could use chicken instead of turkey and make your own broth, that would help with the sodium content. If you buy low sodium broth, you could also make it with a rotisserie chicken. Much faster! - 3/5/09

     I liked this, it was nice for a change in menu. I wasn't sure about the avacoado on top but it added to it. Thanks for sharing! - 4/9/09

     I used chicken cut up instead of turkey and increased the spinach. I also added some mushrooms. This was very good. My husband, daughter, and I loved it! - 3/9/09

     If you make your own chicken or turkey broth,you can make a day or two ahead and refrigerate. When you get ready to use the broth, the fat will be congealed at the top and is easy to take off and discard. - 3/5/09

     It's amazing how fast it is to make this soup and yet how delicious it is! A definite, year-long family favorite for us. The only adjustment I make is to use my home made turkey (or chicken) broth to cut out those thousands of mg of deadly Sodium. - 3/5/09

     I used chicken instead of turkey, but otherwise I made it exactly. Super flavorful and not difficult. It took maybe 20 minutes and tasted great! - 3/25/08

     I am looking forward to trying it, with homemade broth. JJDOCKRICH, as the originator of the recipe you can edit it to fix the sodium count. Instead of bouillon, use one of the low-sodium broths in the SP database. Thanks! - 11/1/11

     If someone is worried about the sodium, then just use low sodium chicken stock! This sounds really good - 3/5/10
  • ERINDPAUL
     you can use white cooking wine(usually found on the aisle with the vinegars) which has the flavor without the alcohol. also I think the sodium has to be a misprint. - 3/5/09

     I want to try this with low sodium chicken broth and leaving out the avocado. I will rate it after I try it. - 9/25/20

     Na is incorrect. Should be about 890 mg/ serving. - 4/14/20
