Thick, rich and delicious; serve it in sourdough bread bowls! We used 10 oz fresh spinach instead, added 2 gloves garlic and increased the onions.

I really enjoyed this soup. I had to add a little more milk to thin it, for my own taste. Funny by reading the previous review. The only thing I will do next time is add a little more nutmeg. Yes, I will be making this again!

Very simple, and very soothing! To thicken properly, make sure all the flour is absorbed before adding the milk, and make sure milk starts to boil before adding the spinach. 100% Popeye approved!
