24 Nov Sausage Potato & Spinach Soup
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound kosher sausage, (I like Jack’s) sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 pound red potatoes, diced
3 cups baby spinach
DIRECTIONS:
This soup is a hearty one pot meal and so easy to make. If freezing don’t add the spinach, add when you reheat. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, drain excess fat. Stir in garlic, onion, oregano, basil and red pepper akes. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in chicken broth and bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in spinach until it begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
