Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the spinach wilts, 2-3 minutes. Add the mixture to a blender or food processor, add 1/4 cup hot water, and puree until smooth.
- In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and stir to distribute the ingredients evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes, then pour in the milk, stirring occasionally. Add 2 teaspoons of salt, cayenne pepper, and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the soup and simmer until thickened, another 3-5 minutes. If the soup is too thick, add a little more warm water or milk. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle each serving with parsley and/or chives.
