Cream of Spinach Soup

I really enjoy Mark Bittman's blog. He has a lot of good recipes and really good advice from time to time.
Last night I made Cream of Spinach Soup, which I got from his blog. It was absolutely delicious, and I will bet that the 1/4 cup or so thats left over will be on daughter # 3's mind as soon as we get home today.

1 # spinach (I used frozen. I would not recommend canned at all)
onions (he calls for spring onions or scallions, I had regular "spanish onions, and diced them up fine)
3 cups homemade chicken stock
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to barely a simmer, cook about 10 minutes.
Add a pinch of nutmeg
Kosher salt
Blend the soup. (I used a hand blender, worked great)
Add a cup or so of cream, or as in my case, half-n-half

Slurp!

Leftovers: Mashed Potato Soup

This is so good, you would not guess its made from leftovers. Leftover mashed potato soup!

I made mashed potatoes the day before. Next day, I sauted some onion in butter, added the leftover mashed potatoes, a bit of ham cubed (leftover ham, as well) and added milk. A little less milk that potatoes. A little salt and pepper, and a shake or 2 of celery salt.

Delicious!
