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
  • Olive oil (for sautéing) Use as needed

Method
 

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

Notes

This soup keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days and freezes nicely for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm it on the stove and add a splash of broth if it thickens.
