Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon diced
  • 1 lb Italian sausage spice, casing removed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 rused potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper freshly ground, to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
  • Add Italian sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in sausage and spinach until spinach begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream until heated through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with bacon.
