Ingredients

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chicken sausage slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, 4-5 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.
In the same pan, add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and thyme, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add diced potato and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are just tender, 10-12 minutes.
Return sausage to the pot. Stir in heavy cream and spinach. Simmer until spinach wilts and soup is creamy, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest for bright, fresh flavor. Serve hot.
