Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/2 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 8 oz chopped radishes peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped grape tomatoes
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 3/4 cup sharp cheese
- 4 oz baby spinach
- 1/2 cup crumbled, cooked bacon
Instructions
- In a dutch oven, brown Italian sausage in larger chunks then drain and set aside.
- In the same dutch oven, add 3 Tb butter, garlic, onion, mushrooms and tomatoes, and radishes. Sauté for 7 minutes.
- Add about ¼ cup of the chicken broth to the pot then deglaze using a wooden spoon to scrape brown bits from the bottom. All the bits that are stuck to the bottom of your pot are flavorful, so don't discard these!
- Add the rest of the chicken broth and seasoning, then bring to a boil.
- Reduce to medium heat and cook for approx 20-30 minutes with the lid on or until the radishes are tender. Stoves cook differently, so you may need to adjust your cooking time.
- Add sausage, heavy whipping cream, and 4 oz spinach to your pot and simmer on low with the lid on for approx 10 minutes.
- Add 3/4 cup cheese and 1/2 cup crumbled bacon. Stir until the cheese melts.
- Serve hot!
