Italian Sausage soup

This is another delicious soup my friend Elania made on Halloween!  She also added orzo pasta - it was tasty!

Italian Sausage Soup
Ingredients
2 pounds Italian sausage
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
4 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans Italian-style stewed tomatoes
  • 2 cups sliced carrots
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans great Northern beans, undrained
  • 4 small zucchini, cubed
  • 4 cups spinach - packed, rinsed and torn
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Original recipe yields 6 servings
Note: Recipe directions are for the original serving size.
Directions
  • In a stockpot or Dutch oven, brown sausage with garlic. Stir in broth, tomatoes and carrots, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.
  • Stir in beans with liquid and zucchini. Cover, and simmer another 15 minutes, or until zucchini is tender.
  • Remove from heat, and add spinach. Replace lid allowing the heat from the soup to cook the spinach leaves. Soup is ready to serve after 5 minutes.
