     I also used a tspn.of dill and garlic.
    1 review seemed concerned about using corn starch since the potao has enough starch.The corn starch is for thickening and is a different kind of starch,by the time it's diluted in the 6 cps. of liquid it's miniscule.splurge and get fresh spinach,much better. - 2/13/09

     This is a great recipe to use with other vegetables besides spinach. It would make a nice cream carrot soup as well. - 8/3/08

     A very green soup but also a very good soup! - 8/2/08

     Good, but is very time intensive. I added 1T of Tasbasco, parsley, and used 2c. low sodium chicken broth and 2c. low sodium vegetable broth instead of the water. Also, 2c. nonfat milk rather than 2%.
    Doesn't seem worth the effort. - 7/27/08

     I really liked this soup! Even though it looks like a bubbling swamp. I used a box of frozen spinach, and 6 oz of chicken breast. I made it without the cornstarch. And it made 8 cups. So I figured it out as 8 servings. 106 calories. And, great on the nutrition. Thanks. - 7/22/08

     This is pretty good. After making it the first time, I altered it a bit by adding garlic to the recipe. Muy bueno! - 7/17/08

     Wow what a delicious soup! I didnt add milk as i like my soups thick - instead added a few dolops of low fat sour cream also added broccolli the first time as i was running low on spinach! Preferred using less spinach version. A hit with the whole family so i have to make a couple of batches a week - 9/11/11

     This was easy to make. Adding mushrooms was a wonderful idea and they really made it special. - 2/19/09

     I make this without the chicken and use fllavored broth. - 2/13/09
  • TRICOTINE
     I think Potato is starchy enough so I wouldn't add the corn starch. Without Chicken either and vegetable bouillon rather than chicken for a Vegetarian Version. Thanks for sharing! :-) - 1/31/09
  • PJANTANA
     Very good. I used fat free chicken broth instead of the boullion and water. - 7/23/08

     I am still looking for a comparible substitute for fresh, garden-grown spinach, but I think that I have found one in Swiss and Red Chards. Any other suggestions? - 7/23/08

     I love creamed spinach soup. This is a keeper. - 7/18/08
  • SUNNIEDAES
     Pretty good. I added some Tabasco to give it a bit of zing. I also doubled the corn starch for added thickness. I might make it again but with more changes. The real rest will be how it tastes tomorrow. :) - 1/24/08

  • CHARTERDAWN
     I added a packet of (Idahoan) Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes because it added extra flavoring plus gave it the thickness I wanted. - 9/29/13
