• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

1. In a 5-qt. Dutch oven, bring spinach, broth and carrots to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool to lukewarm.
2. Meanwhile, in skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter until onion is soft, about 5-10 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir over low heat for 3-5 minutes. Add to spinach mixture.
