    I'm not a fan of spinach or kidney beans, so instead of putting those in, I sauteed carrots and celery with the onions and garlic. I also used pre-cooked, pureed sweet potatoes. This soup was SO GOOD that two days later, I made it again! I think I could eat the whole pot at once if I let myself! - 11/11/12

    Another great one to add to my cookbook. I will sustitute a different bean for the kidney beans as I don't like them. I Probably use garbanzo beans. - 2/12/11
