Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large bell pepper any color, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (15 ounce) diced tomatoes undrained

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Add the dried oregano and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the soup to a simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

This soup is also delicious with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
