Why This Recipe Works

Ingredients for Recipe

2 tbsp butter or olive oil – for richness

1 small onion, finely chopped – flavor base

3 garlic cloves, minced – aromatic depth

1 cup chopped spinach or kale – adds freshness

4 cups chicken broth – hearty foundation

½ cup heavy cream – creamy texture

½ tsp dried thyme – earthy note

Salt & black pepper – to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sauté Aromatics
   Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant and golden.
