Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage: Begin by removing the skin from the sausage links and crumbling the sausage meat into a frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook the Onion and Sausage: Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook it alongside the sausage, stirring occasionally. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink and the onions are softened and translucent.
- Combine Ingredients in a Stock Pot: Transfer the cooked sausage and onions to a large stock pot. Pour in the chicken broth and add the cubed potatoes.
- Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the pot, stirring until it wilts. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes to ensure the spinach is lightly cooked.
- Finish the Soup: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the evaporated milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste, giving it a final stir to combine everything.
- Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy the rich flavors of this hearty, comforting Tuscan soup!
Additional Notes
This Tuscan Soup is a great choice for a quick and wholesome meal. The creamy texture from the evaporated milk pairs perfectly with the savory sausage and tender vegetables. For a richer flavor, you can use a full-fat version of evaporated milk, but this recipe also works well with a lighter version for those looking to reduce calories.
