    Call it a soup or stew, you are going to adore this hearty combination of sausage and spinach either way.

    Before getting started, make sure to have a pound of your favorite Italian sausage on hand. The kind that you add to a skillet of sausage and cauliflower stir-fry or to your breakfast hash and eggs.

    Choose the best Paleo sausage with the ingredients that are good for you - the ones that make you joyously happy.

    And while you are smiling, be sure that you have all the rest of the ingredients on the list. Potatoes, carrots, onion, spinach. Just know this recipe can be adapted to follow AIP if you choose compliant sausage and sweet potatoes.

    Speaking of spinach, did you know that it is closely related to Swiss chard and beets? All of these are excellent for your body - and a great way to mix up the variety of greens you consume.

    It won't give you bulging muscles like Popeye, but it can improve your eyesight and reduce inflammation. If life has you sitting behind a screen for more hours than you care to count, add a dose of spinach to your meals every now and then, to feel like a modern-day superhero!

    Once you start to find more inspiration for spinach, you'll discover that you can eat it raw, or cooked. Stuffed in salmon with sun-dried tomatoes or hidden in a mango, avocado, and spinach smoothie. Eat your greens and gain strength with every meal!

      how many cups would you say make 1 serving? I added a little salt, pepper and cayenne pepper for more flavor. I also added extra basil and oregano. Very good! We used white sweet potatoes too. White are easier to get the teenage boys to eat.

        Glad to hear it was a hit! :) Just use the serving adjuster in the recipe card to adjust the ingredients.
