List of Ingredients





1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
7 tablespoons flour
4 cups whipping cream
3 cups chicken stock (or use water and 3 bouillon cubes)
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and white pepper to taste
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
4 ounces finely diced cooked ham
1 cup grated mild cheddar cheese
2/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Freshly chopped parsley for garnish



Recipe



Start by making a roux. Melt butter in small heavy bottomed pan. Add flour and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly for 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to let roux burn. Set aside.

In large, heavy bottomed pan, combine cream, stock, nutmeg, cloves, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Add spinach and ham; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Gradually add reserved roux to thicken. Add cheese, stirring frequently. Soup should be thick enough to coat a spoon. Garnish with parsley. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
