Like another reviewer I found this soup tasted fishy. I know it is the garlic, so either I will cut down on the garlic next time, or add a can of crab. Crutons and cheese may help soften the garlic taste. Thanks though for the recipe.

This recipe yields a delicately flavoured aromatic pot of bliss! It tastes identical to the spinach bisque served in a local restaurant where I live (a personal favorite soup). The restaurant places shrimp on the bottom of the bowl in which the soup is served, adding texture and introducing a subtle flavor. My husband has never tasted the soup from the restaurant and is horrified of green food (I swear he's going to get scurvy one day!). He reluctantly tried the soup from this recipe and immediately dubbed it "the soup with the name that sounds gross but tastes AWESOME!". A+ for cost! A++ for flavour! ps - I thought I had fresh garlic but it was quite dried out so I used 1/8 of a teaspoon of dehydrated garlic (powder)per garlic clove. I also used skim milk and half and half instead of heavy cream and it still tasted wonderful! Thank-you so much for the recipe - I'm going to e-mail it to my best friend in Yellowknife, NWT who could benefit with a good soup through these cold months.

POST COMMENT: I went back and rated this anyways. It deserves to have at least five stars! I have tried the soup and thats all that matters. It warms your belly while awakening your taste buds.... it is a very hard experience to describe. So try it and see if you can explain the greatness of this soup!
Not sure if it is fair for me to rate this seeing as I've had this from the GREAT MissPenny's kitchen itself, so here I am just commenting. EVEN THOUGH this deserves WAY more then five stars!!!!... I remember the first time I had this. I came home from school (then 7th grade) and MissPenny said Here! Try this! Of coure me being a 7th grader thought Ewwww Spinach! Ewwww Green Soup!!!! But MMMMMMMMM the smell just MADE me have to try it, and I have LOVED it EVER since. I miss it now 
With college and all. But there is always the hope of SPINACH GARLIC SOUP in the future 
TRY IT if nothing else...dont shy from the ingreidents or the funky green color! I took it to school for lunch and all my friends turned up their noses... UNTIL they tried it!!!!! WONDERFUL UNIQUE SOUP!!!!!
