Cream of Spinach Soup

I almost gave this soup 4 stars because I tasted it before I grated on the nutmeg. The amount of garlic seemed a bit much (and this from a true garlic lover) but when I did add the grated nutmeg, between the fabulous scent and the subtle change in the flavor, I was sold on five stars. I made the lowfat version, skipping the butter and flour. As with other Katzen soups, I used the immersion blender which simplifies both prep and clean-up. I do think that the next time I make this, I might try adding roasted garlic instead of raw, or adding the garlic earlier so that it cooks a bit more. As far as this being the low-fat version, it is a rich and satisfying soup and the potato really does provide adequate body to the broth. The nutmeg (do use fresh grated nutmeg) really is magical.
