CREAM OF SPINACH SOUP
This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Steps:
- In a large pot, cook spinach in boiling salted water until wilted; drain. When cool, squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
- In a medium pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes.
- Add flour and cook, stirring, until combined, 1 minute.
- Whisking constantly, add broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes.
- Add cooked spinach and cilantro; cook until cilantro is just wilted.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl. In batches, fill a blender halfway with mixture and puree until smooth; to allow heat to escape, remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid with a dish towel, and hold down firmly while blending. Return soup to pot as pureed.
- Add cream and heat over medium until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with broth or water, if desired.
