Creamy Sausage Soup

Healthy Fact of the Day

Swap heavy cream for coconut milk or half-and-half for a lighter version. Adding extra spinach boosts iron and vitamins, making this soup more nutrient-dense without compromising flavor.

This Creamy Sausage Soup transforms simple ingredients into a bowl of pure comfort with its rich, velvety broth that’s packed with savory Italian sausage and tender baby spinach. The luscious cream base is infused with Parmesan cheese and aromatic thyme, creating layers of flavor that warm you from the inside out. It’s the kind of hearty, satisfying soup that makes any evening feel cozy and special.

If you love warming, creamy soups, you’ll also enjoy our White Cheddar Apple Chicken Chili for another comforting bowl with unique flavor combinations. For more hearty, protein-packed dishes, try our Loaded Potato Soup or Spinach-Artichoke Soup—both deliver that same satisfying, soul-warming experience with different delicious twists.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound italian sausage

    • 1 onion, chopped

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 4 cups chicken broth

    • 2 cups heavy cream

    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

    • 2 cups baby spinach

    • 0.5 teaspoon salt

    • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

    • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated

    Directions

    • In the same pot, add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
    • Pour in the chicken broth, stirring well to deglaze the pot and incorporate the flavors.
    • Add the cooked sausage back into the pot along with the heavy cream and dried thyme, stirring to combine.
    • Allow the soup to simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the liquid slightly thicken.
    • Add in the baby spinach, salt, and black pepper, cooking until the spinach is wilted and tender.
    • Serve hot, garnished with grated parmesan cheese, which will add richness and an additional layer of flavor.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
