This soup is so easy, creamy, and flavorful. The creamy, garlic, roasted red peppers, celery, and spice from the Italian sausage is the perfect combination that will make you want more. If you are looking for the best soup for the cooler weather, this one is for you. We love it so much; we enjoy it in the warmer weather too.
Inspiration
I always tend to tweak recipes from when I originally found them and basically turn up the volume on veggies or in other areas that I personally like. As always, I like to give credit, where credit is due. My inspiration on this recipe came from this lovely blogger. You can look up the original recipe and try hers exactly how she has it or check out her other low-carb recipes.
The Ingredients
- Italian Sausage- You can use breakfast sausage- but I like the Italian flavor best
- Yellow Onion
- Celery – The celery flavor really stepped up this recipe – so I use about 4-5 stalks
- Mushrooms- This one is optional- But a great addition, if you love mushrooms as much as we do.
- Minced Garlic – I like the kind out of the jar or bottle (less mess and less garlic fingers)
- Roasted Bell Peppers– You can find these in a jar in large slices, or already in pieces.
- Cream Cheese
- Beef Stock
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Spinach- I use about 3-4 cups of chopped spinach. I like the additional heartiness and color.
- I also want to note that I usually ALWAYS chop my spinach mostly because I don’t like getting a big glob of spinach. Persoanl preference, but I think my family also agrees that the chopped is better hidden and more appetizing as small pieces from your spoon to mouth.
My Favorite Cooking Supplies used:
I love my red enameled cast iron dutch oven. I use this pot for almost all of my soups/stews. easy to clean and looks great!
Pampered Chef Mix N Chop – This thing is amazing! Much easier getting your ground beef or sausage into the perfect size pieces
Leftovers
If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, this one is even more amazing the next day. If you need to fluff it up so you can feed the whole family, you can add more spinach and/or cream. You could also whip up some of my cheddar cheese biscuits!
