Spinach and parmesan cheese are two of my favorite ingredients. And, of course, I love weddings, so I'd better try this recipe, too, Anne! It should be perfect with our Seattle fall rain...
a friend of mine had this soup not too long ago and said it was delicious- now I can surprise her with the recipe. thanks!
