Italian Soup

Jason and I had dinner with our friends Amanda and RJ and they made us the BEST soup. It's my new favorite. I got the recipe from Amanda and made it tonight for dinner. Absolutely delish. It's super easy and now a family favorite.

Ingredients:

1lb ground Italian sausage ( I use the spicy sausage)

2 cups of onion, chopped

1 cup carrot, diced

2 T. garlic, minced

4 cups of chicken broth

1 can chopped Italian style stewed tomatoes

1 cup of pasta (really any type is fine)

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped (I don't chop it, just throw it in)

Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Brown the sausage in a large saucepan (just use your large pot, it is great because it is a one pot dish), over medium high heat. Add onion and carrot and saute for 3 mins. Stir in garlic and saute another 3 mins.

Add the broth and tomatoes, bring to a boil. Stir in the pasta and let it cook according to package directions (about ten mins). Add the spinach and cook about 1 min until wilted.

Serve by placing parmesan cheese over the soup.

Thanks Amanda!
