Ingredients

  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage removed from the casings
  • 5 lices Bacon diced
  • ½ white onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled
  • 32 ounces beef broth
  • 2 white potatoes diced (no peeling necessary)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups spinach fresh
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded and divided

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Brown sausage and diced bacon in a French oven over medium high heat until fully cooked. Drain all but one tablespoon of oil. Sauté onion and garlic in remaining oil for about 2-3 minutes. Add back the sausage and bacon. Add beef broth, potatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
  2. Reduce to low and cover. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are fully cooked.
  3. Add fresh spinach, cream and 3/4 cup parmesan cheese. Heat over medium until warm (about 5 minutes). Serve with a sprinkle of extra parmesan on top. ENJOY.

Notes

  • Storing. Transfer leftovers to an airtight container. Store in the fridge and enjoy within 3 days.
  • Kale option. Swap the spinach for kale or your other favorite leafy greens in Zuppa Toscana.
  • Make ahead option: If you're making this ahead of time, wait to add the spinach until you reheat the soup. This keeps the spinach from getting mushy.
