soups | Fresh spinach gives this soup a gorgeous green color. And the pungent nutmeg packs an alluring, spicy-sweet punch.

1 serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving)
1 small onion(s), chopped
6 oz spinach, fresh, baby leaves
1 1/2 cup fat-free chicken broth
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
1 cup cooked whole-wheat spaghetti, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup cooked chicken breast, skinless and boneless, chopped
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions


1. Coat a medium nonstick pot with cooking spray. Add onion and spinach and sauté, stirring frequently, until spinach is limp, about 3 minutes. Add broth.
2. Purée mixture in pot using an immersion blender (or pour soup into a blender and purée in batches, being careful not to splatter the hot liquid).
3. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer 5 minutes to heat through. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
