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.

Just made this soup and it turned out amazing! I used fresh spinach and it really made a difference in the flavor. The bacon added a nice smokiness and the Parmesan cheese gave it a creamy richness. Definitely a keeper!
