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.

This soup was a disappointment. The vegetables were mushy and the broth was bland.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me. I would recommend using less chili flakes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I served the soup with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
