Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Italian sausage links or bulk
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups baby spinach or kale if preferred
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • optional Parsley or grated Parmesan for garnish

Method
 

Cooking the Soup
  1. In a large pot, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. If using links, make sure to remove the casings first.
  2. Toss in the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until they’re fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir in the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning.
  4. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the baby spinach (or kale), seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Cook just until the greens are wilted.
  6. Ladle into bowls, and sprinkle with parsley and parmesan if desired.

Notes

This soup keeps well for 3-4 days in the fridge. Can be frozen in an airtight container for convenient meal prep. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan for best flavor.
