Creamy Tuscan Soup

I have never been one to enjoy spicy food, even black pepper some times was too much for me! What made me think this recipe would be good to try, I have no idea, but it is delicious - I just have to wipe the sweat from my brow as I eat.
This recipe has a bit of a higher fat content than an average meal, but when adjusting the meal through the rest of the day, and even more so., eliminating grain, it has a bit of a balance.

4-5 servings

Ingredients 
1/2 chopped onion
tbsp bacon drippings (or EVOO)
3 cloves minced garlic
6 links sweet Italian sausage
4 medium potatoes sliced
1 container low sodium chicken broth
