Directions
Shake off excess water.
Melt butter; cook onion and spinach gently until spinach has softened and become limp without browning.
If using frozen spinach, let block thaw completely.
Sprinkle in flour; blend smoothly.
Add stock; bring to boil, stirring constantly.
Add parsley, bay leaf, and seasoning; reduce heat.
Simmer 10 to 12 minutes.
Do not overcook; this spoils green color and fresh flavor.
Put through fine food mill, or blend until smooth in electric blender or food processor.
Reheat; add lemon juice.
Adjust seasoning; add mace.
Stir in cream just before serving.
Garnish with hard-boiled egg slices in each cup; sprinkle with paprika or croutons.
