Italian Harvest Vegetable Soup image

As published in Delicious Living in March 2010. If my Grandmother had been Italian, she would have made this soup. It is as wholesome and delicious as it is beautiful. Prep tip: If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use one 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I had to substitute another vegetable. The soup still turned out great!

This soup is way too time-consuming to make. I won't be making it again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland and watery.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and hearty, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I especially loved the addition of the Parmesan rind, which gave the soup a lovely cheesy flavor.
