Finnish Spinach Soup (Pinaattikeitto) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons margarine
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 liter milk
150 g finely chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
4 hard-boiled eggs

Preparation

Melt margarine in a pot, add flour and mix well with a whisk.
Add about half of the milk and whisk vigurously to get rid of any lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens and begins to boil.
Add the rest of the milk and the spinach, whisk. Allow to boil for a few minutes. Keep stirring often as milk-based soups stick to the bottom of the pot easily!
Add salt, sugar and white pepper, mix.
Divide between soup bowls; peel boiled eggs, halve them, and place two egg halves on top of each bowl of soup.
