Recipe type: Dinner
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients:
  • Ingredients:
  • 4 or more pieces of bacon
  • 1 lb hot Italian sausage
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 large sweet yellow onion
  • 9 cups water
  • Chicken bouillon
  • 6 large russet potatoes
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
  • Spinach
Directions:
  1. Start by frying up the bacon, then remove from the pot and set aside to cool.
  2. Next, fry sausage together with garlic paste and crushed red pepper. When browned, add in onions and cook until onions are translucent.
  3. Add water and chicken bouillon. You'll need at least one cube (or equivalent if you choose chicken stock) per cup of water, or more. We like to add a little extra chicken bouillon for a stronger flavor. Bring to a boil.
  4. Slice your potatoes into really thin slices, au gratin style while you're waiting for the soup mixture to boil.
  5. Crumble up the cooled bacon and sliced potatoes to the pot. Continue to cook until the potatoes are done. Add in the heavy cream and stir to combine.
  6. Just before serving, add in spinach.
