What is Tomato Florentine Soup?
Florentine is a cooking term from France. It refers to dishes with a base of cooked spinach and thick and creamy sauce. It’s a fun twist on a classic tomato soup recipe. Since it’s made with spinach, it changes from a classic soup to a Florentine one.
How To Make It Creamy
It’s really easy to thicken the soup or make it creamier. Either add some heavy cream or tomato paste. Both are simple options that thicken the sauce and add flavor at the same time.

The picture of the soup looks like it has maybe kidney or black beans but I don’t see any listed in the recipe.
No, that’s the spinach.

Stacie,
I have a quick question regarding your recipe. Is the pasta cooked before adding to the boiling soup?
No, it isn’t. It cooks with the rest of the ingredients.
My hubby and I have covid, but made this together. When I had to sit down he would take over. It was delicious and hit the spot! Thank you for the great recipe! I’m saving it!
