5 cloves garlic (minced or finely chopped)

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon paprika (regular or smoked)

2 tablespoons tomato paste

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

5 cups chicken broth (or stock)

1 ½ pounds red or yellow potatoes (not russet) - cut into 1-inch pieces)

Nurodymai

In a large saucepan, cook crumbled sausage, chopped onion, and finely chopped (minced) garlic on medium heat for about 7 or 10 minutes until the sausage is cooked, regularly stirring. Drain excess fat. Add Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, and tomato paste, and stir everything well. Add chicken broth. Stir to dissolve the tomato paste and bring to a boil.

Clean the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and add them to the soup. Add diced carrots to the soup. Reduce heat slightly, and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork tender, about 25 minutes (can be as little as 20 or 15 minutes - depending on what kind of potatoes you use and how small you cut them).

Once the potatoes are tender, add 2 heaping cups of spinach and cook for a couple of minutes until the spinach is submerged. No need to cook for long.

Add heavy cream. Season with salt and red pepper flakes (if desired) to taste. Top with fresh herbs (fresh thyme or chopped parsley) and red pepper flakes.
