1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion

Salt and white pepper to taste
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
4 ounces finely diced cooked ham

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.
Recipe
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.
