I have been craving spinach and soup all day, so for dinner I put them together. This is a fantastic amalgamation of several recipes I found online. Enjoy!

Thank you for this! You saved me from another spaghetti night since I had all the ingredients on hand for this. This was delicious. My kids didn't eat it, but I didn't expect them to. My husband and I, however, loved it. So easy too!
