Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage – this will provide a rich, flavorful base to your soup.
- 4 cups chicken broth – acts as the flavorful liquid foundation for the soup.
- 8 small potatoes, peeled and diced – adds heartiness and texture to the soup.
- 1 packet salad dressing mix – enhances the flavor profile with a touch of seasoning.
- 2 to 3 cups fresh spinach – adds a burst of green and a healthy touch to the dish.
Instructions
-
Brown the Sausage: Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the bulk Italian sausage and cook it until it’s nicely browned. Make sure to break up the sausage as it cooks to ensure it’s evenly browned. Once the sausage is cooked, drain any excess fat to keep the soup from being greasy.

-
Prepare the Soup Base: In a large soup pot, pour in the chicken broth. Add the diced potatoes and the salad dressing mix. Stir the ingredients together to ensure the potatoes are well-coated with the seasoning mix.
-
Cook the Potatoes: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Combine and Heat Through: Add the browned sausage and fresh spinach to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Allow the soup to cook for an additional few minutes, just long enough to heat everything through and wilt the spinach.
-
Serve: Once everything is heated through and the spinach is tender, your Spinach Sausage Soup is ready to serve. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy a hearty, comforting meal!
