1/4 Cup Butter
1/2 Cup Onion, Chopped

1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper

2 Cups Heavy Cream

Instructions

In a large pot, melt butter. Add onion and garlic and cook over medium-low heat until onion is soft and translucent.
Add chicken broth, spinach, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the spinach is very tender about 10 minutes.
Cool soup slightly, then carefully add to soup to a blender in batches and puree. (Remember only fill the blender partially because hot liquids expand!) Pour pureed soup back into the pot.
Add heavy cream to soup and over medium-low heat, heat through gently. Serve.
