Steps:
- Cook the Italian sausage and red pepper flakes in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crumbly, browned, and no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the bacon in the same Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain, leaving a few tablespoons of drippings with the bacon in the bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in the onions and garlic; cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the chicken broth into the Dutch oven with the bacon and onion mixture; bring to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, and boil until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and the cooked sausage; heat through. Mix the spinach into the soup just before serving.

Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your dish a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many mushrooms at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Season the mushrooms well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are tender. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the mushrooms immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.

Chicken Tosca is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of chicken, mushrooms, and Marsala wine is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
