Ingredients

- 6 cups chicken bone broth
- 1 14oz can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 8oz package cream cheese
- 1 small zucchini, chopped
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 cups baby spinach
- Shredded parmesan cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
- Add chopped onions, garlic, and sausage to the pot. Cook, stirring and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until the onions are soft, translucent, and the sausage is browned.
- Pour in the chicken bone broth and add the fire-roasted tomatoes. Stir in the cream cheese until fully melted and the broth is smooth.
- Add the zucchini, basil, oregano, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
- Add the spinach and let it wilt into the soup, about 3 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
