I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The soup was watery and tasteless.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I had a bunch of spinach that was about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The soup was delicious, and it was a great way to get my daily dose of vegetables.

This soup was easy to make and absolutely delicious. I served it with a side salad and some crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.

I've tried many spinach soup recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of leeks and potatoes gives it a wonderful depth of flavor, and the broth is so rich and creamy.
