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!

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.

All About Jones Dairy Farms All Natural Sausage 

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. 

Jones Dairy Farm also makes amazing all natural, sugar-free chicken and turkey sausage, plus the BEST Uncured No Sugar Bacon!  (Get the recipe for my savory sweet potato bacon waffles here!)  

Since Jones Dairy Farm’s line of No Antibiotics Ever, Certified Paleo products contain NO sugar or preservatives, they’re perfect for paleo and Whole30 recipes.  Definitely check out their website to browse their amazing products and find out where you can purchase!

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!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 12 oz package Jones Dairy Farm All Natural No Sugar Little Pork Sausages thawed, cut into bite size pieces*
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 3/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the oil. Once heated, add the sausage pieces*. Cover and cook 2 minutes, then uncover and continue to cook, stirring, another 2-3 minutes until browed. Drain the fat, leaving at least a tablespoon in the pot.
  2. Add the onions, oregano, basil, and red pepper, and cook until onions are translucent, then add the garlic and potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook another 60 seconds.
  3. Add the broth, stirring to combine, and bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 5-8 minutes.
  4. Once potatoes are tender, stir in the spinach to wilt, then the coconut cream. Stir to combine, then taste and season with salt and pepper, or more red pepper as desired. Cook another minute to combine flavors and serve hot. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

*Alternatively, you can remove the casings and crumble the sausage in the pan to brown.

    This sounds very good! I am trying tonight. Do you have any reservations about subbing spinach with kale?

    Super good. My mom turned me off spinach as a kid with the frozen stuff (yuck). I found that fresh was good as an older adult. Made this with a spicy venison sausage and it was great. Like your husband, not a big soup fan. But this is an exception. Love your stuff.

    Skip the coconut cream! Somehow, the coconut cream did not go with this soup. I made it with the turkey sausage (Whole30 compliant) and added jalapeno instead of the red pepper flakes. It was better than adding the coconut cream. I have found that when I eat too much coconut cream, I do not feel well.

    Can I make this with fully cooked sausage? Would I just add it in at the end?

    For those of us who disagree on the paleo potato issue, would a white sweet potato work instead?

    The flavors in this soup are phenomenal. I’m on Day 17 of my whole30 and I might even make this again before I’m done. I don’t think I’ve ever repeated a recipe while doing a whole30 lol. I’m not a huge fan of whole leaf spinach in soups, the texture is too slimy for me, but I chopped up my spinach, and it came out amazing. I typically am sick of my leftovers after 3-4 days, but this remained SO tasty even after a few days and I was actually so sad to finish my last serving! I’m looking forward to making this again, one of your best soups!!
