Sausage, Potatoes and Spinach Soup

This is another recipe I adapted for Robby.  Let’s face it, soup season is here and everyone loves a bowl of warm hearty soup. Although this was made for Robby we all enjoyed this soup, the broth is simply delicious.  If you want it a little richer and you can have dairy you could add about 1/4 cup of heavy cream! I used a gluten-free “hot” sausage as we wanted that punch of flavor, but you can use any sausage you like. The sausage and potatoes make this a hearty dish on our New England winter days.

INGREDIENTS
2 Tablespoons garlic infused olive oil
1 lb. uncooked gluten-free sausage (I used a hot sausage)
6 cups organic gluten-free chicken bone broth
1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, diced
2-3 cups baby spinach leaves
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 Teaspoon chicken base such as Better Than Broth (I used a gluten-free base)

DIRECTIONS
Heat infused olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausage and brown until cooked through. I tried not to break up the sausage too much as I wanted sausage bites to be in there.  Add the chicken broth and potatoes, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender about 15 minutes. Stir in spinach and red pepper flakes. Cook until spinach is wilted. Add the chicken base and stir well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Enjoy!
