Wash the spinach until the water is clear.
In a large pot, bring the lightly salted water to a boil.
2 l Water
Add the spinach to the boiling water - you might need to do it in several portions to fit all of it.
750 g Spinach
Let boil for 30 to 60 seconds, then immediately take it out and put it into a bowl with ice water. Discard the cooking water.
Ice Cubes & cold Water
Remove the spinach from the ice water once it has cooled and put it into a colander. Press the spinach by hand to remove as much water as possible. Let continue to drain while you continue with the next steps.

Dice the onion and heat a pot with the butter.
1 Onion, 2 tbsp Butter
Fry the onions in the butter and peel the garlic.
2 cloves Garlic
Once the onions are cooked until translucent, add the garlic with a garlic press and fry for 30 seconds, then add the spinach and stir.
Next, add the broth and the cream (as explained in the video) and stir.
4 tsp granulated Vegetable Broth, 150 ml Heavy Cream
Let cook for some minutes, then use an immersion blender to blend it all.
Mix the flour with a bit of cold water and mix into the spinach.
2 tbsp Flour
Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
some Salt, some Pepper, some Nutmeg
Serve with potatoes or mashed potatoes and a fried or boiled egg.
