Ingredients:

– 1 pound Italian sausage, casing removed

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 4 cups chicken broth

– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

– 1 cup heavy cream

– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– 2 cups baby spinach

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Brown the Italian sausage, breaking it into pieces with a spoon. Drain excess fat, if necessary.
