Starter -- Spinach Soup

3 pounds fresh spinach, or 3 10-oz. packages of frozen
One third cup butter
2 and one half cups milk
2 and one half cups water
One eighth tsp. ground nutmeg
Salt and fresh ground pepper
One half cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp. parsley, chopped
7 Tbsp. fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Wash spinach, remove stems and then cook damp spinach in covered pan over medium heat until just wilted. Drain and allow to cool. With the frozen spinach, you can just let it thaw. Drain spinach and squeeze to remove excess moisture, then chop. Heat butter in pan and saute spinach for a minute or two. Add milk, water, nutmeg, salt, pepper and heat to just boiling. Lower heat immediately to simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add the cream, parsley and cheese and serve immediately.

The Skinny: Use low fat milk and fat-free Half and Half in place of the cream.
