If you like spinach like I do then you should really enjoy this recipe! The nutmeg adds a terrific flavour to this as well. It's easy to make and would be great served with some crunchy bread. This comes from Recipe Goldmine. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs fresh spinach (or frozen, chopped spinach)
8 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs, hardboiled and sliced

Steps:

  • Wash spinach thoroughly; drain and chop coarsely. (If you're using frozen spinach, defrost it and drain thoroughly.).
  • Place a sieve or strainer over a large bowl; set aside.
  • In a large saucepan or soup pot, bring broth to a boil. Add spinach. Simmer 8 minutes, then pour into sieve or strainer, catching the stock in the bowl. Press the spinach with a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible. Set the stock aside. Chop the spinach very fine.
  • Melt the butter in the saucepan or soup pot. Remove pan from heat and stir in the flour. Using a whisk, slowly add the hot broth, mixing well. Return pan to heat and bring broth to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Add spinach, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cover pan, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve soup garnished with slices of hard-boiled egg.
