Creamy Spinach Soup

2 1/2 oz onions chopped
1 tbsp bacon fat
3 oz sliced mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp Homestyle Chicken Stock (by Knorr) add to the chicken broth
4 cups chicken broth
16 oz frozen chopped spinach
1 cup of water (optional)
1 cup heavy cream (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
hot sauce (optional)

I add the cream to each bowl instead of adding to the pot. You can freeze the soup if you don't add the cream. I also added true lemon 1 pkg and hot sauce to my own bowl .

Saute onions till clear in butter and bacon drippings. Add mushrooms (covered) cook until tender, add minced garlic. Saute the mixture a couple of minutes then add chicken broth and bouillon (Homestyle Chicken Stock by Knorr) cook for 15 minutes (taste). Add spinach and any additional water as needed to get the consistency to your liking, season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer at medium heat, covered for 15 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender and add the desired amount of heavy cream. The soup is great without the cream if your watching your calories.
