Ingredients
Scale
1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, depending on your preference)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 cups chicken broth (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
Instructions
Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
Add diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery; sauté for about 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning; stir in spinach until wilted and serve hot.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
Leftovers taste even better the next day.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
