I’m officially feeling the mid-winter blahs complete with perpetual coldness and wanting to wear nothing but sweats 24/7. 

Which means it’s really not a bad time to whip up a new, super comforting (and healthy!) soup recipe like this Whole30 Sausage Potato Soup with Spinach!

What You Need to Make Sausage Potato Soup with Spinach

The ingredients you’ll need are simple and delicious!  Here’s everything you’ll need for this soup:

• Avocado oil or olive oil
• 1 12 oz package Jones Dairy Farm All Natural No Sugar Little Pork Sausages 
• Yellow onion
• Dried oregano
• Dried basil
• Red pepper flakes (optional)
• Garlic
• Sea salt and black pepper
• Chicken bone broth, or broth of choice 
• Small red potatoes
• Baby spinach
• Coconut cream 

How to Make Sausage Potato Soup

Use a large stock pot or dutch oven for this soup.  Make sure all ingredients are chopped and ready to go before beginning.

For the sausage, you can either cut it into bite size pieces with the casing on to brown, or remove the casings and crumble the sausage into the pot to brown it.  Both ways will work!

After browning the sausage, drain most of the fat, leaving about one tablespoon in the pot.  Cook the onions and spices, stirring until fragrant, then add the garlic and potatoes and season with sea salt and pepper.

Add the broth and bring to a boil, then cook until the potatoes are tender (5-8 minutes).  Stir in the spinach to wilt, then the coconut cream and heat through.  

Taste the soup and add any additional seasonings, then remove from heat and serve.

For the sausage in this recipe, I used the Little Pork Sausage Links from Jones Dairy Farm, which have TONS of flavor, no sugar, and no binders, fillers, or preservatives.  

They’re uncooked and come frozen, so it’s super easy to thaw, chop, and throw into any recipe.

Yes, White Potatoes are Paleo!

My husband Adam (who is not a “soup person” by his own admission) really enjoyed this soup and it’s probably all because of the sausage potato combo.  I mean WHO doesn’t love sausage and potatoes?!

And by the way – YES – white potatoes are paleo.  

Now, that doesn’t mean everyone can/should eat them, but that can be said for so many foods since everyone has different nutritional needs/restrictions.  

Now of course, if you’re going to douse your potatoes in flour and deep fry them in vegetable oil then no, that’s not paleo nor healthy by anyone’s definition.  

But, to toss some in a soup with protein and veggies to add some carbs and make it perfectly filling, that’s another story.  Context is important with food as with anything else.  Definitely check out this article if you have more questions about white potatoes.

I hope you’re ready for a delicious, healthy and hearty comforting soup!  I can’t wait for you to try it – enjoy!
