- 8 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons butter

- 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.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
