Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
- Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Add the fresh spinach and stir until it has wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
