  1. Brown the Sausage: Heat that olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the Italian sausage and cook until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly. Scoop it out and set it aside, but leave that delicious fat in the pot—it’s liquid gold.
  2. Cook the Veggies: In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté them until they’re softened and smelling amazing. Then, throw in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Mix It Up: Return the sausage to the pot and pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in the dried oregano and basil. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Your kitchen will smell incredible.
  4. Add the Spinach: Stir in the baby spinach and cook for another 5 minutes, until it’s wilted and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve Up: Ladle the soup into bowls, grab a spoon, and dive in. Pair it with some crusty bread if you’re feeling extra indulgent.

Tips to Enhance Your Sausage Soup Recipe

To make sure your Italian sausage and spinach soup turns out just right, here are some helpful tips:

  1. Use Quality Italian Sausage: The flavor of this soup is all about the sausage, so choose a high-quality variety. You can go for mild or spicy Italian sausage depending on your taste preferences.
  2. Let the Veggies Shine: Don’t rush when sautéing the vegetables. Allow the onions, carrots, and celery to soften and release their sweetness before adding the garlic. This step builds a flavorful base for the soup.
  3. Customize the Greens: While baby spinach is a classic choice, you can swap it for kale or Swiss chard for a heartier texture. Just remember to give heartier greens a little extra cooking time to soften.
  4. Add Pasta or Beans: If you want to make this soup even more filling, consider tossing in some cooked pasta or a can of white beans for added texture and protein.

By following these tips, you’ll make sure your sausage soup is loaded with flavor and perfect for those cozy nights in.
