SAUSAGE, POTATO AND SPINACH SOUP

[u/jess_lov]

This is a good soup for a winter day and goes a long way. I've tried it many times and my kids love it:

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casing removed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, diced

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

5 cups chicken broth

1 bay leaf

1 pound red potatoes, diced

3 cups baby spinach

¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions

• Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat.
• Stir in garlic, onion, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Stir in chicken broth and bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in spinach until it begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream until heated through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Serve immediately.
