What you’ll need
To whip up this delicious soup, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 pound Italian sausage

- Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the pot, cooking together until the onions become translucent.
- Stir in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, followed by the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to blend all those flavors.
- Add the fresh spinach and heavy cream, stirring them in until well combined.
- Finally, season with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve hot and enjoy!

Storage and reheating tips
If you happen to have leftovers (though I doubt you will!), storing them is simple. Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze portions of it for up to a month. When ready to reheat, gently warm it on the stovetop, adding a splash of chicken broth if it thickens up too much.
Creative twists
While this recipe is fantastic as is, why not have some fun with it? Swap in different types of greens, such as kale or Swiss chard, instead of spinach. You could also add a splash of lemon juice for a refreshing zing or try experimenting with different spices like smoked paprika for a unique twist!
