Ingredients
  

1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your preference), casings removed

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium carrots, diced

2 stalks celery, diced

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, break it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

    Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice) and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

        Season the Soup: Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

          Stir in Cream and Parmesan: Lower the heat and gently stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the cheese to melt and the soup to become creamy.

            Add Spinach: Fold in the chopped spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Adjust seasonings if necessary.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers.
