My Italian chicken sausage soup with spinach is loaded with flavor and protein. It’s an easy to make soup that will warm you on a cold day and fill your tummy!

Soup is a staple on our weekly dinner menu during the winter. There is nothing more comforting than a filling bowl of pasta and vegetables in a broth. My favorite soup recipes are the ones I make up with whatever I have in the fridge – they always turn out the best!
Italian Chicken Sausage and Spinach Soup Recipe
There are many different ways to make this soup – one would just need a meat, green, 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.
