TOMATO FLORENTINE SOUP WITH PASTA
I had a yen for tomato Florentine soup last night, so made this with what I had on hand. I used a 14-oz package frozen leaf spinach and shell pasta but will probably use a 10-oz package frozen chopped spinach and ditalini next time. Was quite tasty served with hot, buttered French bread on the side.
