Description

A rich and creamy soup featuring Italian sausage, fresh spinach, and parmesan cheese, perfect for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (Mild or spicy based on preference)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Once the sausage is cooked through, stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Carefully add the chicken or vegetable broth to the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom for extra flavor.
  4. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat and pour in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the soup is creamy.
  6. Finally, add the chopped spinach and allow it to wilt in the heat for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with more parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the spice level by choosing mild or spicy sausage.
  • For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
