 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 10       oz           Spinach, chopped
                       -(frozen or fresh)
  3       sl           Bacon
  1       sm           Onion
  1       t            Salt
    1/2   t            Pepper
  3       T            Flour
  1 1/4   c            Milk (we substitute
                       -a like quantity of
                       -50/50 Kosher Parve
                       -creamer and water)

 Rinse and chop the spinach.  Place the chopped spinach in a heavy skillet,
 cover, and steam until wilted, stirring occasionally.  There is no need to
 add water other than what clings to the leaves from washing. (If you are
 using frozen spinach, place over low or medium heat to thaw and allow
 excess water to evaporate) Transfer to small bowl and squeeze completely
 dry.

 Grind bacon and onion very fine and place in saucepan.  Saute bacon and
 onion until bacon is cooked. Stir in flour to make smooth paste. Gradually
 add milk. Bring to boil and simmer 10 minutes over low heat until
 thickened.

 Add salt and pepper.  Grind spinach fine and add to cream sauce.

 NOTES:

 *  Creamed spinach with bacon -- This is a creamed spinach recipe that we
 found in the _Los Angeles Times_.  It produces a creamed spinach that even
 my wife likes.

 *  You may find that you want to add extra milk and give the finished soup
 a final heating in the microwave. We did, and it didn't hurt it one bit.

 : Difficulty:  easy.
 : Time:  10 minutes preparation, 15 minutes cooking.
 : Precision:  approximate measurement OK.
