Hi Andrea,
If you like spinach soup, you might enjoy spinach madeline...
Spinach Madeline
2 packages frozen chopped spinach
4 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp.. green Tabasco sauce
2 Tbsp. flour
2 Tbsp. chopped onion
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup vegetable liquid
1/2 tsp. black pepper
3/4 tsp. celery salt
1 - 6 oz. roll garlic cheese (cut into small pieces)
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Red pepper (to taste)
Cook spinach according to package directions. Drain and reserve
liquor. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat, and add flour, stirring
until blended and smooth, but not brown.
Add onion and cook until soft, but not brown. Add liquid slowly,
stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until smooth and thick;
continue stirring. Add seasonings and cheese. Stir until melted.
Combine with cooked spinach.
This may be served immediately or put in a casserole and topped with
buttered bread crumbs. The flavor is improved if the casserole is kept
in the refrigerator overnight. The dish may also be frozen. Serves 5
to 6.

This recipe was created by Madeline Neville, in the 1950s. Madeline
lives in the area of St. Francisville, Louisiaina... Her recipe was
originally published in the "River Road Recipes" in 1959, by the
Junior League of Baton Rouge... Since then, it has been featured many
times in a number of cookbooks, magazines, and other publications.
Spinach Madeline goes well with just about anything, but it really
goes well with crawfish etoufee, steamed shrimp, crab louie, and
jambalaya... The problem with jambalaya for us diabetics is that it
contains lots of rice, which can be bad, as it is very carby.
