Italian Chicken Sausage and Spinach Soup Recipe

There are many different ways to make this soup – one would just need a meat, greens, and pasta. The base is the same for many of my soup recipes: carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and broth.

Here are substitution ideas: You can use any type of chicken sausage – our family loves the roasted garlic flavor. As far as greens, you can use escarole or kale instead of spinach. If you are dairy free, I highly recommend the Follow Your Heart Parmesan Shreds.
