- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion diced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat.

Cook, stirring frequently until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Stir in chicken broth and bay leaf, and bring to a boil.
Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in spinach until it begins to wilt.
