How to Make Italian Sausage Chowder

  1. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain off excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 6 cups chicken broth, 2 large potatoes (peeled and diced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and the browned sausage back to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in 5 oz fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley or Parmesan cheese (optional), alongside crusty garlic bread.
