Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy) Use your preferred level of spiciness.
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced) Toasted for extra flavor.
  • 2 medium carrots (diced)
  • 2 stalks celery (chopped)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter option, use half-and-half or coconut milk.

Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the diced onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced carrots and chopped celery. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Reduce heat slightly and mix in the heavy cream until well combined.
  6. Add fresh spinach and stir until wilted. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
