This was pretty good. I left out the grated carrot.

Ecellent!! I thawed a frozen bax of chopped spinach and squeezed all of the excess water out instead of using fresh spinach. Also used ff evaporated skim milk with a quarter cup of cream for richness. I increased the milk to total 3 1/2 cups. Husband raved!

I had to do some modifications to this as apparently (in Canada at least) Knorr no longer makes the Cream of Spinach soup mix - it isn't even listed on their website. As per another reviewer's suggestion I tried it with Cream of Leek. We liked it. I don't know if I will make it again but if I do I will try to modify it without the soup mix at all. Thanks for posting.

Count me in as one of the 'plain ole regular folk' who doesn't mind using a soup mix to start this recipe out. It is a wonderful soup. The carrots add a pretty color to the soup. Highly recommended.
