Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Italian Sausage

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and crumble the sausage into the pot. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with juice) and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Add Spinach

    Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot in bowls and enjoy your Italian sausage soup!
