During the years I owned and operated a deli, this was one of the most popular soups I served.
This is a wonderful recipe - my husband just loved it! I often make my own chicken broth, so this is a great use for quantities of chicken broth. Thanks for posting this recipe!
Excellent made it exactly as the recipe except I added a sprinkle of lemon pepper when served. : ) Will be making this soup again and again, Spinach and Garlic is an excellent source for detoxing!
