I thought this soup was good as a healthy and hearty soup. However, if you find yourself adding a lot of extras like Parmesan, croutons, etc as I did then you probably needing another recipe. I didn't think it had enough flavor even adding the extras but it's hard to make a flavorful healthy soup.

thought the recipe was excellent. I agree with the first review that there are some steps missing in the recipe. Easy fix though.

Next time i won't add the parm rind because it left melted cheese on the bottom of my pot. i'll only use the grated parm as a garnish. I added a couple of pinches of salt and pepper to adjust the seasoning for me. No harm since we used low sodium broth.

i added sausage tortellini's instead of the noodle. the spiciness of the meat added another welcome flavor layer.

i also used a 1/2 of cooked chicken instead of the breast meat, only because that is what i had on hand. It still tasted great.

next time i might try kale as an alternate to the spinach. But the spinach did taste great.

i got a pizza dough from my local pizza joint and baked it with rosemary, sea salt, and evoo; quick and easy fresh bread to serve with this excellent soup.

i'll make it again for sure.

Very good! Liked the lemon and the fennel-can taste both in the end result. Could not find fennel -so just sprinkled a little minced fennel seeds into the soup. Also the crushed red pepper flakes gives it just enough Zing! Loved it-ate it without the noodles. Usually use escarole in my soup-the spinach is just as good. Will definitely make again.

I love this soup! I am usually not a soup lover, but decided to try this as I am trying to find ways to use up my left overs and what i have on hand (to reduce food waste. I made this soup for lunch yesterday and it was very simple, delicious and fairly quick to make. I added extra noodles to "beef" it up as I usually find soup to be less satisfying as a meal. I also added a handful of homemade croutons to the top. Wonderful soup!

Light on kcals,robust in Flavours.Yes,I do skip the "parm" only because this has enough aromatics already.I feel Good eating this Hearty Soup and sometimes a very light Meal follows if for Lunch. Highly recommend.

Made it last night for dinner. What a great soup. Used homemade chicken broth and followed the recipe pretty much as written (unusual for me and loved it. Had it again for lunch today. This will be a new favorite soup.

Fennel was unexpectedly awesome in this recipe. I used chili paste from tube in place of dried chili flakes! Yummy!

Very tasty. Very simple. You can tweak the types/amounts of vegetables. I added garlic. Overall, this is a great hearty soup without being heavy.
