Steps:

  • * 1. Combine spinach, onions and stock in a saucepan, and turn heat to medium high. Bring to a boil, and lower heat so mixture barely bubbles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is very tender, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat, add nutmeg and a sprinkling of salt and pepper, and let cool at least a few minutes. * 2. Pour soup into a blender, in batches if necessary, and carefully purée. Return to pan, add cream, and, over medium-low heat, reheat gently, stirring occasionally. When soup is hot, adjust seasoning, and serve. *3 save some spinach for the end and add some nice small peices for added effect.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more broth next time.

This soup is very bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

I didn't have any bacon on hand, so I used ham instead. It was still delicious.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of cream in this soup. It turned out great!

I added a few extra cloves of garlic to this soup and it was delicious. I also used a blend of sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheese, which gave it a nice cheesy flavor.
