Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Meatballs:
    • 1 pound turkey Italian sausage (casing removed)
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 clove garlic (minced)
    • Salt and black pepper to taste
  2. For the Soup Base:
    1. 1 tablespoon olive oil
    2. 1 small onion (finely chopped)
    3. 2 cloves garlic (minced)
    4. 4 cups chicken broth
    5. 1 cup cherry tomatoes (whole)
    6. 1 cup heavy cream
    7. 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    8. 2 cups fresh baby spinach
    9. 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    10. Fresh cracked black pepper
    11. Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  • Prepare the Meatballs:
    In a bowl, mix together turkey sausage, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).

  • Brown the Meatballs:
    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.

  • Sauté the Vegetables:
    In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.

  • Add Broth and Tomatoes:
    Pour in chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and add meatballs and cherry tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and burst.

  • Create the Creamy Base:
    Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and broth to thicken. Season with Italian seasoning and fresh cracked black pepper.

  • Finish and Serve:
    Add spinach and let it wilt in the hot soup. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: To keep the broth silky smooth, avoid boiling after adding the cream and Parmesan, and maintain a gentle simmer.
  • Cheese: For the best texture, always use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
