- 16 ounces spinach (fresh or frozen)

Add broth and turn up the heat, and bring to a steady simmer. Add in spinach, a little at a time, and cook for 5-8 minutes or until the greens are wilted but still vibrant. Turn off the heat.

Allow the soup to cool a bit before blending with an immersion blender or spooning it into a high-speed blender or food processor. Loosley place on the lid (do not seal) and pulse soup a few times to get it started, then blend until you have a smooth consistency. You may have to do this in batches.

At this point, you can adjust seasonings and enjoy or add in Greek yogurt and nutmeg, and blend one more time. This adds a bit more body and flavor to the soup, but I enjoy it both ways!
