• Pour in the stock and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the potato starts to cook.
• Pour in the milk and bring up to a simmer, then stir in half the spinach and the lemon zest. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the spinach has completely wilted down. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
• Pour the soup into a blender (preferably) or food processor, add the remaining spinach (this will keep the soup bright green and fresh tasting) and process until silky smooth.
• Return to the pan and reheat. Taste and season with pepper and nutmeg. Dilute the soup with a little hot water if too thick. Ladle the soup into bowls and swirl in the cream.
