Default Gourmet Spinach Soup

3 Tbsp butter
1/4 pound fresh mushrooms; diced
1 scallion; chopped
5 Tbsp WW Pastry Flour
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk (LF if desired)
1/2 Tsp salt
freshly ground Black pepper
4 oz Cream Cheese, cubed (Reduced Fat if desired)
1 cup grated Swiss Cheese
3/4 pound fresh Spinach; chopped and cooked

Melt butter in a large saucepan. Saute the mushrooms and scallions on low heat until tender.

Add flour and stir just until flour is cooked (a couple of minutes).

Whisk in the chicken broth and then the milk.

Continue to cook and stir until thickened.

Add salt and pepper (I like a pinch of nutmeg in this as well), Cream cheese and Swiss cheese. Stir and cook until the cheeses are melted.

Add spinach. Heat until warm but do not boil.

Makes 4-6 servings.
