Cream of Spinach Soup

For a low fat version, skip the 2nd step.

1 large onion, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 lb. spinach, cleaned and stemmed
5 medium garlic cloves, peeled only
optional: 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups hot milk [may be low fat]
white pepper and nutmeg to taste

1. Place onion and potatoes, water and salt in large saucepan. Bring to the boil. cover and simmer until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat, add spinach and garlic cloves, and set aside

2. Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Whisk in flour and keep whisking over low heat 5 minutes. Drizzle in the milk. Continue to whisk and cook until smooth [about 5 to 8 minutes more].

3. Puree the vegetables in their cooking water; return the puree to the saucepan. Stir in the white sauce [or just the milk if you're making the low fat version]. Adjust the salt and add white pepper to taste. Serve hot, topped with a subtle sprinkling of nutmeg
