Instructions
Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, sauté onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add Carrots, Celery, and Bell Pepper: Stir in carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Add Potatoes, Broth, and Seasonings: Add potatoes, broth, and diced tomatoes. Stir in oregano, basil, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer.
Simmer the Soup: Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes and carrots are tender.
Add Sausage and Greens: Return sausage to the pot and stir in spinach or kale. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until greens are wilted.
Serve: Remove bay leaf. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with parsley and Parmesan if desired. Serve with crusty bread.
Tips for Success
Sausage Choice: Use your favorite sausage, such as Italian, chorizo, or bratwurst, to vary the flavor.
Broth: Use high-quality chicken or vegetable broth for the best taste.
Vegetable Variations: Add or substitute vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or corn.
