Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 1 medium red pepper diced
  • 1/2 medium Poblano pepper diced
  • 3 stalks celery diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • sea salt & black pepper to taste
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup Cheddar Jack cheese shredded

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large kettle or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until the sausage is no longer pink inside (approximately 5 minutes). As the sausage cooks, break it into small pieces with a wooden spoon.

  2. Add the red and Poblano pepper, celery, basil, oregano, rosemary, chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon to the pot. Generously season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies have softened, around 5-6 minutes.

  3. Add chicken broth and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add spinach and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or just until the spinach wilts.

  4. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Top with shredded cheese and some additional diced Poblano pepper, if desired. Enjoy!
