Beth's recipe for Sausage and Potato Soup

I love soup!  I was excited when Beth sent me this recipe for our Recipe Party.  I made it for dinner yesterday when I wasn't feeling well.  It really hit the spot!  You can't help but love a recipe that is easy to make, uses regular household ingredients and turns out so yummy!  A bowl of this and maybe some nice bread would make a satisfying meal anytime.

I'm really enjoying adding some great new recipes to my repertoire - I know you will too, so don't forget to join the recipe party if you haven't already, or go ahead and join again!

WHAT YOU NEED:

3 italian sausages (sweet or spicy), removed from casing

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2-3 carrots, sliced or chopped

2 cans chicken broth

2-3 potatoes, cubed

1 C milk (2% or whole for best results)

2 C baby spinach (or kale)

Italian cheese

WHAT TO DO:

Brown sausage in a stock pot.  Add and saute onion, garlic, and carrots.  Drain fat if necessary.  Add chicken broth.  Bring to a boil.  Add potatoes and simmer until tender, 15-20 min.  Mash potatoes in soup briefly with a potato masher to break down.  Add milk and spinach and simmer for 5-10 min. until spinach has wilted down.  Top individual bowls with cheese if desired.
