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