Melissa's Cream Of Spinach Soup



1/2 an onion
1 box of frozen spinach

1 tblsp chopped garlic

4 tblsp butter

2 tblsp flour

4-5 cups of milk ( I used 1 %)
Salt and Pepper to taste

In a large pot create a rue by fully dissolving butter and then adding flour

Stir with a whisk for about 1 minute

Add in your milk and turn up to med heat

In another pan combine: Some olive oil, onions and garlic

Sweat the onions until translucent.
Add onions to soup-pot
Cook together, for about 5 minutes
Add in defrosted chopped spinach
Cook on very low heat for about 10 minutes

Add to blender, puree and return to pot.
Allow soup to rest for a few moments before serving. Or you can put in the refrigerator.

Some other ideas for cream soups would be Cauliflower, Broccoli, Carrot or Zucchini. Using a lower-fat milk makes a not so healthy soup much better for you.

I will have to try this. Did the Bell like it? Jonathan is a fan of cream of broccoli with lots of cheese! :)
