Someone said there weren't enough recipes in net.cooks, so, to remedy
that situation, here's a soup I put together a few nights ago - to the
acclaim of some appreciative and hungry friends:
CREAM OF SPINACH
1 bunch spinach 3 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup chopped celery incl. leaves 1/4 cup medium sherry
1 TB butter 1/4 TSP nutmeg
2 TB flour salt, white pepper to taste
Wash spinach and discard any thick stalks. Melt butter over medium heat.
Add onion and celery and cook until onion is translucent (about 3 mins).
Stir in flour, add salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken
stock, stirring well and heat until it starts to boil, stirring it
frequently. Add spinach and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and
allow to cool for 15 minutes. Using a food-processor with steel blade
or, in the absence of such an indispensable device (:-)), a blender,
process/blend the mixture in batches until smooth with dark-green flecks.
Return to a medium heat, taste and correct seasoning. Stir in cream,
sherry and nutmeg. Do not allow to boil. Serve (4-6I) and enjoy!
