Spicy Sausage & Spinach Soup
This 5 ingredient, one pot soup recipe is the most comforting soup for the cold winter days. This soup is inspired by a classic Italian wedding soup with my spin on it. It's a super easy and quick recipe to make in a pinch. It’s spicy and has a creamy consistency from cooking the rice right in the soup.
Equipment
- Large Soup Pot
- Strainer
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 5 oz fresh spinach
- 1 pound hot ground sausage
- 10 cups (80 oz) chicken broth
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
- red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Add olive oil and onions to a large soup pot and saute over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add in ground sausage and continue to saute for 3-4 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain the oil/fat from the pot using a strainer.
- Bring the heat to low and return the sausage and onions mixture to the pot. Add in the broth and rice and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender. Add in spinach and cook until wilted about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with crackers, crusty bread and or top with crunchy croutons. *Optional top with red pepper flakes for extra spice.
