- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 Parmesan crisps (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the pot, stirring until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a simmer, and let cook for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the soup to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot.

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until just warm. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
