Spinach soup with sausage and boiled egg

Here’s a hearty Spinach Soup with Sausage and Boiled Egg recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sausage (Italian or smoked sausage), sliced
• 6 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 boiled eggs, peeled and halved
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
• 1 cup heavy cream (optional for creaminess)

Instructions:

1. Cook the sausage: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
2. Sauté vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add broth and spinach: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 5-7 minutes until wilted.
4. Season: Add salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes if you like some heat. Stir in the heavy cream if using for a richer texture.
5. Combine and simmer: Return the cooked sausage to the pot and let everything simmer for another 10 minutes.
6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, and top each serving with halved boiled eggs.

Enjoy your comforting and flavorful spinach soup!
