Serves: 6
Ingredients
FOR THE SOUP:
  • 1 lb. Mild Ground Italian Sausage
  • 1 tbsp. Butter
  • 1 Yellow Onion
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire
  • 3 tbsp. Flour
  • 6 Baby Yellow Potatoes, diced into small cubes
  • 7 cups Chicken Stock
  • 1 tsp. Mustard Powder
  • ½ tsp. Dried Oregano
  • ½ tsp. Dried Basil
  • 8 cups Fresh Spinach
  • ¼ cup Chopped Sun dried Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
FOR SERVING:
  • 6 Bacon Slices, cooked & chopped
  • Grated Parmesan
  • Fresh Italian Parsley, chopped
Instructions
  1. Sauté the sausage in a large stockpot, breaking apart for 8 - 10 minutes until golden and browned. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Add the butter to the same pot and sauté the onions until softened. Next you'll add the garlic, Worcestershire, and flour. Mix to combine and continue to sauté for 2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Add the potatoes, chicken stock, mustard powder, oregano, and basil. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes have softened, about 10 minutes.
  4. Carefully add the spinach, sun dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and sausage back to the stockpot and bring to a simmer.
  5. Serve immediately with desired amount of chopped bacon, grated parmesan, and a sprinkle of fresh Italian parsley.
