Simple Norwegian Spinach Soup

1. 1

   Wash spinach thoroughly; drain and chop coarsely. (If you're using frozen spinach, defrost it and drain thoroughly.).

2. 2

   Place a sieve or strainer over a large bowl; set aside.

3. 3

   In a large saucepan or soup pot, bring broth to a boil. Add spinach. Simmer 8 minutes, then pour into sieve or strainer, catching the stock in the bowl. Press the spinach with a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible. Set the stock aside. Chop the spinach very fine.

4. 4

   Melt the butter in the saucepan or soup pot. Remove pan from heat and stir in the flour. Using a whisk, slowly add the hot broth, mixing well. Return pan to heat and bring broth to a boil, stirring constantly.

5. 5

   Add spinach, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cover pan, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. 6

   Serve soup garnished with slices of hard-boiled egg.
