Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (if needed)
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet, diced into ½-inch cubes)
  • 3 cups chicken broth (or more, if needed)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2% preferred)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra depth of flavor)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale (chopped, optional but recommended)
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

For Serving:

  • Crusty bread (perfect for dipping!)
  • Extra Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Sausage & Aromatics

  1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart (about 5-7 minutes). Remove excess grease if needed, leaving 1-2 tbsp for flavor.
  3. Stir in the onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Step 2: Simmer the Soup

  1. Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3: Add the Cream & Greens

  1. Stir in milk, heavy cream, and spinach/kale. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the greens are wilted.
  2. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  2. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • Make It Spicier: Use hot Italian sausage and add red pepper flakes.
  • Lighter Version: Replace heavy cream with extra milk or unsweetened coconut milk.
  • Extra Thick Soup? Mash some of the potatoes before serving.
  • Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
