It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I don't know what 1 and a half quarts is - or am I just being dim, Alexa didn't know either and neither did siri, so I just used a pint and fingers crossed - its cooking right now will tell you later. J Smith
A quart is a standard unit of measurement. You would need to use 3 pints to equal 1 1/2 quarts. There are 32 ounces, or 4 cups, in a quart. Siri answered it just fine for me just now.

I like celery soup but seems like the only recipe I ever see for it is cream of celery which I don't care for. Was happy to find this one. It's got a ton of flavor with the curry and ginger and cayenne in it. I will be making this again and have printed it out and added it to my regular collection.

I added the seasonings by taste so I'm not sure what I ended up with but I know I used less curry but probably about the same for the others. I really liked the soup. To the person asking about quantities, a full bunch of celery is pretty standard. You can get just the hearts in the smaller bags but I'm pretty sure this is calling for the regular size bunch in the produce dept. And a stalk or two difference probably won't really matter. I used vegetable broth in this as I thought chicken broth might not taste as good.

I would suggest you clarify what size potatoes, what size bunch of celery, what size onion as all these come in different sizes. Also what broth, as there are vegetable, beef and chicken. Eliminate the #1 before the 1/2 quart broth. At first I thought it was one and one half quarts. I doubled the recipe. Used chicken broth and added, added 1-1/2 tsp cumin as well as a tsp of white pepper. After pureeing a small portion, I decided I liked the texture in the soup. All in all, I thought it was outstanding and quite easy to prepare.
The recipe is flexible, which is most likely why there are not more specific measurements and ingredients - that way you can tailor it to your tastes. If you like potatoes, use large potatoes. If you want a richer broth, use beef broth. Also, the recipe does call for 1 1/2 quarts broth.

This soup came out great. We didn't use the cayenne pepper and only used under a tsp of chili powder. This gave the soup a kick and it was not too spicy. I would definitely make this again.
We didn't like it - found the quantities of spice to be too much - the flavor was overwhelmingly curry/cayenne/chilipepper - could not taste the celery at all. Unfortunately we couldn't eat it. My tongue is still burning from tasting while cooking.

This was easy to make and very yummy. It was quite filling too. I baked some croutons and added to the soup in the bowls - tasted great.

This is a very tasty and delicious soup; I put in less chillie and cayenne not being up to the heat of your full recipe. Also with the lemon juice I added the juice of 1/4 lime and that was a good addition. I made it with about a quart or less as I like it thicker. I will be making this soup again! Thank you

This soup was very good. I doubled the recipe, because I was making it for our main meal. It made a lot of soup. The only things I did different was I used chili powder instead of the chili pepper (didn't have one) and I added only 1 1/2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper (because I doubled it - it called for 2 tsp). The reason I didn't give a "5" star rating is because it was still pretty spicy. I will add even less cayenne pepper next time. But overall, the whole family thought it was wonderful. I'll be making this again. Thanks!
