Description
A hearty and creamy soup made with Italian sausage, fresh spinach, and plenty of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups chopped spinach
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In the same pot, add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute more.
- Add diced potatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Return the browned sausage to the pot. Stir in the chopped spinach and heavy cream. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted and soup is creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated on the stove.
