Ingredients

    1. 1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    2. 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
    3. 2 garlic cloves, minced
    4. 3 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
    5. 3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
    6. 1 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
    7. 6 ounces turkey kielbasa, sliced ( Polish sausage)
    8. 1/4 teaspoon salt
    9. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until onion is tender.
  2. Add the broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until potatoes are very soft. Using a potato masher or large spoon, slightly mash potatoes to thicken soup.
