    This soup was delicious! I changed it up by adding a couple cloves of chopped garlic, more potatoes and spinach than it suggested, and didn't add the lettuce. The soup is so creamy and the goat cheese adds great flavor. I ate this all week and didn't get turned off of it once!

    I love this soup! I didn't have potatoes so I used brocoli and cauliflower. I also added a jar of hot cauliflower to it. The heat of the hot cauliflower ran through the background of the soup. Very good!

    This soup of Giada's is one of our favorites. I've made it several times because it's so GOOD and we've had plenty of fresh arugula from our garden. I've learned to double the recipe in order to have enough to keep some in the freezer for later. Other types of potatoes (red and russet work fine. Also, I've skipped the lettuce and have added a chopped stalk of celery. It has turned out delicious every time. This soup is thin, so in the opinion of my husband and I, it's one to serve to sip on from a mug with crumbled goat cheese and a spoon to get every delectable bite. Thank you, Giada!

    Really not too bad. Kind of weird looking. I added extra arugla and greens and some celery leaves from a stalk o celery. Also after is was done and in pot sitting, I put in a small back of precut slaw mix from store just for texture. Very Good! Might cut up some chicken in it next time for a meat soup. Overall, Love it!

    It's fabulous with Coconut Thai Curry Chicken Broth. I used green leaf and spring mix lettuces. Just enough kick.

    Tasty and "Souper" easy. We had a big batch of arugula from the farm stand this week and were looking for something other than a salad to do with it. I used a handheld stick blender - MUCh easier than a conventional blender and worked just fine. My only question would be - "Why the lettuce?" It added a lot of additional water to the soup and brought very little flavor. The only reason I could think of was out of concern that the arugula flavor would be maybe too strong and the lettuce was there to cut it down - but really if you don't like the peppery flavor of arugula, then are you really very likely to be making an arugula soup ? Takes only a few minutes of prep and makes a great starter to a fall supper - will definitely be making this one again - just with all arugula - hold the lettuce.

    I, too, saw this recipe this morning. I decided to make it for my family and what a delightful combination of flavors it turned out to be (and I don't even like potatoes. I added shredded, roasted chicken and it added a nice bulk to this soup. I think you could add just about anything as this makes a great base for all kinds of flavors...garlic, roasted red peppers, asparagus,,,just imagine!!
