Ingredients:

16 oz italian sausage
450g
6 strips bacon
70g
1/2 cup onion
80g
2 garlic cloves
6g
4 cups chicken broth
960g
1 package frozen spinach
280g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
240g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Thaw the frozen spinach and drain any excess water.
2. Cook the Bacon:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
3. Cook the Sausage:
- Add the Italian sausage to the pot with the bacon grease. Cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes).
4. Add Onion and Garlic:
- Add the chopped onion to the pot with the sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Add Chicken Broth:
- Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine with the sausage and onion mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
6. Add Spinach and Cream:
- Stir in the thawed and drained spinach.
- Slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream, stirring continuously.
- Season the soup with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
7. Simmer the Soup:
- Allow the soup to simmer on low heat for another 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Be sure to stir occasionally.
8. Serve:
- Before serving, crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle it over the soup as a garnish.
- Serve the soup hot, and enjoy!

Tips:

- For a more robust flavor, consider using fresh spinach instead of frozen. Simply add it towards the end of cooking to retain its texture and nutrients.

- Feel free to experiment with different types of Italian sausage, such as spicy or mild, depending on your preference.

- To save time, you can pre-cook the bacon and sausage in advance. Store them in the fridge and add them to the soup when you're ready to cook.

- Use a low-sodium chicken broth if you're watching your salt intake.

- This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 5 days or can be frozen for longer storage. Simply reheat on the stove or in the microwave when ready to eat.

This Keto Italian Sausage and Bacon Soup with Spinach and Cream is not only easy to make but also incredibly flavorful and satisfying. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or meal prepping, this soup is sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy the richness of the cream and savory meats while staying on track with your keto lifestyle.
