In a 5-quart Dutch oven, bring spinach, broth and carrots to a boil. Reduce
heat; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; cool to
lukewarm. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter until
onion is soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir over low heat
for 3-5 minutes. Add to spinach mixture. Puree in small batches in a blender
or food processor until finely chopped. Place in a large saucepan. Add cream,
milk, pepper and nutmeg; heat through but do not boil.

"During the years I owned and operated a deli, this was one of the most
popular soups I served," recalls Marilyn Paradis of Woodburn, Oregon.
