  I just made this recipe but with some changes to it, I didnt use the full weights of everything. I used less butter about 15g, and about two handfuls of frozen onions. For potatoes i used Jersey Royals about 3 small ones. I onlyy used 150ml of milk. And instead of garlic i used 3 tsp of Garlic Puree. I also used frozen spinach but defrosted it first before putting it into the mixture. And it is perfect not too creamy, perfectly thick aswell am really pleased with this first attempt. Not going to use the cream though, soured cream or a cream cheese would tase lovelyy with this sort of recipe. Anyways thanks

  I had a 260g packet of spinach to use up, so I halved the ingredients, used spring onions instead of a normal onion, didn't add lemon zest, nutmeg or cream and also used soya milk and it turned out lovely. Super-smooth and very tasty. An excellent quick and easy lunch.

  How do you actually make this soup? Do you put everything in a blender and just boil it or is there some other special way to do this? Sorry if this was a stupid question but I've never made soup before! :)

  Very nice soup for spring or summer. Not as creamy as I thought (but then I did swap the cream for Philadelphia and used skimmed milk), but still very tasty! Looks amazing too, so green!

  This has to be one of the nicest soups I have ever tasted. It has such interesting depth of flavour but doesn't overwhelm. I added the juice of the lemon as well as the grated peel and it's just delicious. We ate some and I froze some and the flavour of the frozen soup was just as delicious as the batch that hadn't been frozen. If anything, the flavours were more defined, with the lemon coming more to the fore. I will most definitely be making and freezing this again :-)

  Not cooked with spinach much and was surprised how tasty this was. I didn't use milk or cream as I am lactose intolerant just substituted more home-made stock and added bits of left over ham from the weekend. Even the builders working on my house rated it!

  Must be me but thought this was terribly bland. So out came the cheese, thinly grated and added in to add a bit of flavour. Inspired by a broccoli and stilton soup :-) Does anyone else have any ideas as to how to improve the flavour?

  Delicious! 5 stars. I can't believe it tastes so good. Healthy, cheap and easy to make. This will be a regular! Changes: I used-up my spring onions (instead of normal onion) and coconut oil (instead of butter) and it tasted great! Even nicer *without* the cream.
