• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 units celery stalks, diced
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup frozen lima beans

• 2 cups baby spinach leaves
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced smoked sausage to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set it aside.

In the same pot, add the diced onion and celery. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened.

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the frozen lima beans, frozen corn, and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.

Step 7

Return the browned sausage to the pot. Add the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Add the baby spinach leaves to the soup and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
