Equipment

  • 1 large pot or Dutch oven
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 ladle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Italian sausage Preferably mild.
  • 1 medium onion Diced.
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 2 medium carrots Diced.
  • 2 stalks celery Diced.
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt To taste.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper To taste.
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes Canned or fresh.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they are translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Remove the sausage from its casing and add it to the pot. Use a wooden spoon to break the sausage into small pieces. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the diced carrots and celery, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer.
  • Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well incorporated.
  • Finally, stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with additional Parmesan cheese on top if desired.

Notes

This soup can easily be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a few days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or milk if it thickens too much.
For a spicier kick, consider using hot Italian sausage instead of mild.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for added flavor and nutrition.
