Ingredients
- 4 strips bacon cut into small pieces
- 1 pound mild Italian sausage
- 1 small white onion finely chopped
- 1 cup carrots finely chopped
- 1 cup celery finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon each italian seasoning garlic powder, onion powder
- 4 cups reduced sodium chicken stock
- 2 cups turnips peeled and cut into small bite size pieces
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp. Then remove using a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Drain off half the bacon grease. Add the Italian Sausage to the pot, brown the meat, breaking up as you go. Once the sausage is cooked through add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and spices. Sauté 4-5 minutes until the vegetables have begun to soften.
- Add the chicken stock and cubed turnips. Bring the soup to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes remove the lid, stir the soup and check to see if the turnips are tender. If not, cook a few more minutes until fork tender. If the turnips are tender stir in the spinach one cup at a time until it wilts.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, serve immediately.
