Cream of Spinach Soup

(shown mixed with Cream of Tomato)

YUM-O!
I finally got around to making the cream of spinach soup, like what we had in Mexico (it was paired with Cream of Tomato, in the same bowl, so that half the bowl was red and the other half was green)...and it's oh so good!

I got this recipe from food.com (#23581)...but changed it a bit, see my marks below
