1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 ½ quarts water
1 cube chicken bouillon
2 cups fresh spinach
4 small potatoes, peeled and halved

Steps:

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion until tender.
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and dissolve the bouillon cube in the water.
In a blender or food processor, blend the onion, spinach, potatoes, nutmeg, and about 2 cups of the bouillon until thick and smooth.
Blend the potato mixture into the saucepan with the remaining bouillon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the milk, and continue cooking 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and more nutmeg to taste. Thus the soup is complete.
