Preparation

Step 1
Place the butter in an oval dish measuring 13 by 9 by 2 inches. Cook, uncovered, in a 650- to 700-watt microwave oven at 100 percent power for 1 minute. Add the onions and stir to coat. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the potatoes around the inside edge of the dish. Pour ½ cup of the broth over the potatoes. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power for 4 minutes. Prick the plastic to release steam.
Step 3
Remove from the oven and uncover. Place the broccoli in a ring inside the potatoes and spread the spinach over all. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap and cook at 100 percent power for 10 minutes. Prick the plastic to release steam.
Step 4
Remove from the oven and uncover. Pass the mixture through the medium blade of a food mill into a large saucepan, gradually adding the remaining broth. Stir in salt and pepper and place over moderate heat until hot.
