Notes

You can use any refined oil instead of olive oil.
You may add a piece of cinnamon too.
Addition of cream is optional but it gives a good taste.
I prefer making in small batches, hence used only one bunch of spinach. You can double the recipe. 
You can add bread croutons as topping if you want.
You can use the hand blender to make puree. 
Sprinkle a little pepper just before serving.
