This soup was okay but missing something. One reviewer suggested maybe it was because she used mild sausage but I used fresh homemade hot italian sausage and it was still missing something.

    It was ok, but like one reviewer said, it seemed to need something else. I followed the recipe exactly, except for substituting cream for the milk. I also only had mild sausages, because we don't like the hot stuff. Perhaps the spicy sausage is the "oomph" that I missed? Still, it is an easy and relatively quick soup.

    Good basic soup. I made 1/2 the recipe because I was not keen to have leftover soup with potatoes and cream (which I use in place of the evaporated milk). My biggest criticism is that the soup cries out for flavor - Garlic, fennel, basil, pepper flakes etc etc. I didn't tweak the flavor at all this time, but would definitely play around with it next time.

    A lovely hearty and warming soup. Used cream instead of evaporated milk and actually forgot to add the cream until after already started enjoying the soup. And it was good even without the cream — so don't worry about omitting that if you want/need to for health reasons/preferences, etc. I personally could have handled even more spinach in the soup. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for posting!
