Broke my bad cooking week with this soup. Steve brought us this few years ago. I did change it up for me. It is one of the tastiest soups. I use turnips to make low carb. I had bag of spinach that need to be use so I put the whole thing in. It did cook down some more after it sat for 15 minutes. I used some stock from pressure cooking left over bones from rotisserie chicken. If you never made before I highly suggest it.
1 lb ground spicy Italian sausage
6 slices bacon, diced
1 small yellow onion, peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic - minced
2 Tbsp flour
32 oz chicken stock
2 turnips peeled and diced into 1/2 inch pieces - can use potatoes
1 cup heavy cream
spinach
Salt and pepper, - to taste
Heat a large pot over MED-HIGH heat. Brown sausage, crumbling as it cooks. Remove to a plate.
Fry bacon in residual sausage grease, I dont make crispy for this soup then remove to plate with the sausage.
Add onion to pot and cook 5 minutes, adding garlic the last minute.
Sprinkle flour over onion and garlic in pot, then stir to combine. Pour in chicken stock, stirring as you pour. Add in turnips and bring to a boil.
Gently boil about 10 minutes, or until turnips are fork-tender. Add in cooked sausage, bacon, heavy cream and spinach. Stir and cook 5-10 minutes until spinach is wilted.
Taste and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes if desired. This is crazy good!
