This soup turned out pretty good. I used Alfredo sauce mix instead of the white sauce. I also only used 3 cups of water so that the soup would be creamier. I also added roasted red peppers while leaving out the mushrooms.

Delicious! I used Alfredo sauce mix instead of white sauce and doubled the amount of Cayenne Pepper. I like my food to have a kick. The soup is a little more watery than I anticipated, but cutting out a cup of water will probably help with that. I'll give it a try the next time I make it--which will be soon!

We used the Knorr garlic and herb packet and chicken stock. It was delicious! It was really thin, though, and I would prefer it creamier/thicker.

This was so good and super easy! My grocery did not have the white sauce packets so used a garlic herb mix and it was great with that. I also cooked the spinach longer to have it wilt more.
