Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded swiss cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 ounces fresh spinach
pepper

Steps:

  • Cook, drain, and chop the spinach; set aside.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water, but using a good quality broth will give the soup a richer flavor.
  • Add your favorite vegetables: You can add any vegetables you like to this soup. Some popular additions include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavor.
