Step 1: Melt butter in med-size stock pot over med heat. Add onion + garlic & saute until onions are soft (10-15 min).

Step 4: Gradually stir in water & heat to a soft boil. Reduce heat & simmer uncovered over med-low heat for 20 min.
Step 5: Stir in spinach & simmer 5 more min (may use broccoli).
Step 6: Stir in cream cheese (1 oz at a time) over low heat (allowing ea bit to melt into the soup).
Step 7: When all the cream cheese has been added & the soup is smooth, stir in the vodka & lemon juice (may use white wine instead of vodka). Taste for seasonings & serve immediately.
