Tweak it Just a Little for a Picky Vegetarian, Member soyamber

For some reason the fat free ""Cream of Celery"" Campbells Soup has chicken fat and other chicken ingredients. I don't believe in farm factory cruelty, so I opted for the ""Cream of Celery"" Non-fat soup which had no chicken products in it. I used a full can of artichokes, and plan on using less spinach and more pasta the next time I cook this, simply because the spinach flavor is so strong and over powering.
