Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • to taste Olive oil (for sautéing)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the diced onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced carrots and chopped celery. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Reduce heat slightly and mix in the heavy cream until well combined.
  6. Add fresh spinach and stir until wilted. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or a dairy-free alternative. This soup can be stored in the fridge for 3 days or frozen for up to three months.
