Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 5 (13.75 ounce) cans chicken broth
• 1 pound bulk mild Italian sausage
• 6 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.25 bunch fresh spinach, tough stems removed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook Italian sausage and red pepper flakes in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crumbly, browned, and no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Cook bacon in the same Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain, leaving a few tablespoons of drippings with the bacon in the bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in onions and garlic; cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes and simmer until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in cream, cooked sausage, and spinach. Cook and stir until spinach has wilted and sausage is warmed through; serve.
