Preheat oven to 400°F. 

Spread out broccoli florets, garlic and 1 cup of spinach leaves on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Put in oven for 5-10 minutes and cook until vegetables start to brown and emit some of their juices.  Remove and put in a pot with the rest of the ingredients except the sour cream, cheddar cheese, croutons and chives.
