Print Recipe

This rich and creamy Italian sausage potato soup features spicy Italian sausage, tender potatoes, diced carrots, and fresh spinach for a hearty meal ready in under an hour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz spicy Italian crumbled sausage raw
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 5 cloves garlic minced or finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika regular or smoked
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 5 cups chicken broth or stock
  • 1.5 pounds red or yellow potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups spinach
  • ½ cup heavy cream or more up to 1 cup
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 tablespoons fresh thyme or chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook crumbled sausage, onion, and garlic for 7-10 minutes until the sausage is browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, and tomato paste. Add chicken broth, stir to dissolve the tomato paste, and bring to a boil.
  3. Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes and add them along with diced carrots. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15-25 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Stir in spinach and cook for a couple of minutes until wilted.
  5. Add heavy cream, season with salt and additional red pepper flakes if desired, and finish with fresh thyme or parsley.

Notes

Use red or yellow potatoes for best texture as they hold shape better than russet. Adjust red pepper flakes for spice level. For a milder version, substitute mild Italian sausage. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
