     The directions call for garlic, but garlic was not listed in the ingredients...how much garlic does this call for? This sounds really good and I would like to make it tonight! Thanks - 4/10/10

     Substitute a 15 oz. can of crushed tomatoes for the diced. It infuses the soup with a richer tomato flavor which, combined with the spinach & the spices, gives it a Florentine flavor. No significant change to caloric or fat content, but may increase the sodium a bit. - 1/12/14

     Made this soup....loved it. I used kale instead of spinach and I diluted the low sodium chicken broth. Will make again....I ran out. - 12/5/13

     My husband actually made this for us and it is delicious. I never would have made it on my own because of the spinach, but he took a chance and we both love it. It will be even better when the weather turns cooler. Thanks for posting this! - 8/16/13

     I have high blood pressure, and this sodium content is more than I should eat in a day--please don't call it "healthy"! However, if made with lo-sodium chicken or veggie broth (better yet, make your own from fresh!), it would fall into that category. Looks good, though. May try it with substitutions - 7/24/13

     The recipe looks great, but I am wondering about the sodium content. What makes it so high? - 10/13/10

     Wonderful. I didn't need this to lose weight. I just wanted to eat something that I knew was healthy. LOVE it. My children arent veggie eaters and they love this soup. I added chopped sweet potatoes and squash. I only used 1/4 of the jalapeno b/c I wasnt doing the diet. Delicious!! - 3/8/10

     Excellent! Make a batch & freeze it, and you don't have to even think about what to prepare for lunch. Definately serve with lemon. - 3/2/10

     I actually did this diet for a week and lost 6 pounds! It was way more strict than I like (gotta have at least a little chocolate!!)... but it is a really delicious soup. Making it tonight! - 3/1/10
