Delightful! More than 5 stars! My DH and our dinner guest, Eric, are still talking about this soup the next day! The roux and chicken broth base really make this a stand-out recipe. This is going into my my Best of 2010 cookbook. Thanks, Parsley! Made for Unrulies Under the Influence, ZWT6.

This is very good! The nutmeg makes it very appropriate for the fall weather, it's warming and comforting. So simple too! Thanks!

Really great fresh tasting soup! I thought the sprinkling of nutmeg was a wonderful garnish that really adding something. Rather than frozen spinach I used fresh baby spinach leaves, so therefore let it gently boil a few minutes before adding and only left the spinach in a few minutes before serving.
