Toss bread cubes, oil, garlic and rosemary in a large bowl until well combined. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare soup: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in potatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Pour in broth (or water). Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in spinach (or chard); cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender, about 10 minutes. Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in a blender (in batches), leaving it a little chunky, if desired. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.) Serve the soup garnished with nutmeg, if desired, and topped with the croutons.
