Had a giant package of spinach but didn’t exactly want a salad. Therefore, cream of spinach soup!

I had a 1lb package of spinach that was intended for a couple other recipes, but the meat for those never got taken out of the freezer and the spinach was still just sitting there, getting nearer and nearer to its expiration date, so I wanted the fastest way to use it all up.
Literally searched “recipes that use a lot of spinach” and found [this recipe](https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a25621667/spinach-soup-recipe/) while at work today. Stuck to it pretty closely with just a few extra seasonings tossed in, notably some Old Bay, dill, crushed red pepper, and a few of the basic Italian seasonings.
I’m not even normally a green soup kinda person. The smell of 1lb of spinach cooking down wasn’t giving me high hopes. I sort of expected to just choke down one serving and pitch the rest… But I polished off the two big ladle fulls here and went back for a couple more, and will still totally be going back for the leftovers!
