Cream of spinach soup recipe?

I'm craving this and would love to make some tonight. I know it's a pretty basic thing, but any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

    You know this. Sautee onions in butter. Add fresh spinach and wilt down, or add thawed frozen spinach with its liquid as well. Add stock or water. Cook a bit. Blitz in blender or use a stick blender. Then add cream, half and half, whatever you have.

    My only suggestion would be to add grated nutmeg somewhere along the line. Not too much, maybe 1/4 t for 4 to 5 cups of soup?

      The nutmeg suggestion was exactly in line with what I was looking for in terms of advice. Thank you!

        Immediately after posting, I thought, whoa, that might be too much nutmeg. Please just do a few gratings, or a sprinkle if from a jar, and then taste. Add more, if you want. I love nutmeg and am usually heavy-handed with it.
