It would be nice if with each recipe instead of 8 servicing, how about the size of serving.

I made this last night for dinner and it was delicious! I used an Italian sausage from HEB (made from ground chicken with spinach, feta) and 5 cloves of garlic minced. It's in my recipe book as a keeper! - 2/25/11

Incredible!

I added TWO 15 oz cans of beans which = 3 cups of beans and blended. I made mini Italian sausage meatballs and browned them with the garlic. Only added half the tomatoes... I don't even see tomatoes in the pic on recipe??? But it turned out DELICIOUS!!! Will make over and over and over again. - 12/12/19

Very good. Yes, much like italian wedding soup without the little plasta. You have to like spinach and cooked tomatoes, so DH wouldn't try it. But I really liked it. Good thing, since I'll be taking leftivers to work! - 12/30/10
