Total time: 55 min
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed; 1 medium onion, diced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 4 cups chicken broth; 2 cups water; 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced; 2 cups chopped fresh spinach; 1 cup heavy cream; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon dried basil; 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes; Salt and pepper, to taste; Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, brown the Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up into bite-sized pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for another 3-5 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and water, then add the diced potatoes to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, stir in the chopped spinach and heavy cream. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Season the soup with dried oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the Olive Garden Sausage Soup hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese on top. Pair it with some crusty bread or a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
