Creating a pot of Italian Sausage Potato Soup with Carrots & Spinach is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a delicious result:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the potatoes, slice the carrots, chop the onion, and mince the garlic. Set aside.
2. Cook the Sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the Italian sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Broth and Potatoes: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the diced potatoes. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Incorporate Carrots and Herbs: Once boiling, add the sliced carrots, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
6. Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
7. Season to Taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
