  • Add the chicken broth, spinach, and pepper to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat on the stove. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a food processor and puree them. Return the pureed vegetables to the saucepan and mix well. Whisk in the cream and tarragon. Warm the soup over medium-low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, but do not let it boil or it may separate. Season with salt and serve warm.
