Creamy Sausage, Potato and Spinach Soup Recipe
When the weather turns cooler I'm all about making a hearty soup. I find them to be a great way to feed your family, stretch some meat and have a complete meal in one pot. This creamy sausage potato soup recipe is an easy recipe I hope you make often this Fall!
Ingredients
- 1 package sweet Italian sausage casings removed (about 5 links)
- 1 onion chopped
- 3-4 carrot peeled and chopped
- 4 celery stalks chopped
- 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. flour
- 10 cups beef broth
- 3-4 russet potatoes peed and cubed
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2-3 hand fulls of fresh spinach or one small bag
Instructions
- To start, remove the casings from your sausage and crumble in a large dutch oven until cooked through. Sausage already has a lot of seasoning and flavor which is great for the soup!
- With a slotted spoon remove the cooked sausage and cook your onion, celery and carrots in the sausage grease. Season with salt and pepper. Add your Italian seasoning and oregano.
- Once the vegetables are tender, about 5-8 minutes, add the butter and melt, then add in your flour to help thicken things.
- Add in your beef broth or other stock and then the potatoes. Bring to a boil and then simmer about 10 minutes of until the potatoes are fork tender.
- On simmer add back your sausage and add in your heavy cream and the spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt. Check the soup for seasoning and enjoy warm!
