Once cool enough to handle, squeeze to remove excess liquid. Set aside. Melt the butter in a pan, add the shallot and cook over low heat until soft but not brown. Blend in the flour and cook, stirring, until straw colored. Pour in the stock and milk. Simmer 15 minutes, add the spinach, season and stir until boiling. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Strain and reserve liquid, place spinach in a food processor or blender and puree. Return soup to the pan. Heat to almost a boil. Taste for seasoning and add nutmeg.
