Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Thaw the frozen spinach and drain any excess water.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Allow the soup to simmer on low heat for another 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Be sure to stir occasionally.
- 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.
