Description

This hearty Tuscan soup is full of tender potatoes, spicy Italian sausage, and leafy green spinach simmered in a creamy, chicken-based broth.

Ingredients

3 (3 1/2 ounce) links spicy Italian sausage
1 onion, chopped
6 cups chicken broth
3 large potatoes, cubed
1 bunch fresh spinach, washed and chopped
1/4 cup evaporated milk
salt to taste

Directions

1 Place sausage and onion into a large stockpot over medium heat. Break sausage up with a spoon and cook until onion is translucent and sausage is browned and crumbly, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain if desired.
2 Add chicken broth and potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
3 Remove from the heat and stir in evaporated milk. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
