Spinach Sausage Soup

by Karen

My favorite recipe using spinach is a sausage and pasta soup I make with browned Italian sausage, chicken broth, sauteed sliced carrots, rotini pasta or orzo. There are no exact measurements. After the sausage is browned and the carrots are slightly softened, add all ingredients together and simmer for 20 min. Salt and pepper to taste. I then stir in fresh spinach leaves I have sliced into ribbons. Serve when spinach is wilted. If using frozen, I guess you could put it in at any time, just chop it small first. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan if desired. I also often add fresh spinach to chicken noddle soup in the same way.
