From Springfield, Missouri, Brenda Thomas writes, âMy husband enjoys my version of this dish so much, he doesnât order it at restaurants anymore.â With fresh spinach, pasta and seasoned sausage, this fast-to-fix soup eats like a meal. Ingredients:
1/2 pound italian turkey sausage links, casings removed, crumbled |
1 small onion, chopped |
1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 cups water |
1 can (15-1/2 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth |
3/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, cut into strips |
5 teaspoons shredded parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same pan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; saute 1 minute longer.
2. Add the water, beans, tomatoes, broth, macaroni and pepper; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until macaroni is tender.
3. Reduce heat to low; stir in sausage and spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Garnish with cheese. Yield: 5 servings.
