1 lb. bulk mild or spicy sausage
1/4 cup real bacon bits
1 medium onion, finely diced (I put it in the Ninja)
2 cloves of garlic (I used 4 cloves and put them in the Ninja with the onion)
16 oz. chicken broth (I use low sodium bouillon)
2 large or 5 small russet potatoes
1/2 a bag of frozen, chopped spinach
8 oz. heavy whipping cream
In a crock pot set to high, brown the sausage. Using a potato masher, break up the sausage into very small pieces as it cooks. Add the bacon bits, onion, and garlic and allow to saute for about 15 minutes.
Turn the crock pot to low. Add the broth and potatoes. Allow to simmer for about 3 hours or until potatoes are soft. (If more broth is needed, add to your preference.)
Add the spinach and cream. Allow to simmer for about an hour or until it is heated through.
Serve with hot rolls.
