There is something so special about a warm bowl of soup at the end of a long day. This recipe is a favorite in my house because it comes together quickly but tastes like it has been simmering on the stove for hours.

You can use any small pasta shape you have on hand like shells or macaroni. My favorite trick is to stir the spinach in right at the very end so it stays bright and fresh without getting too wilted.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, 14 ounces
  • 2 cups small pasta shapes
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Grated parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the sausage in a large pot over medium heat until it is cooked through.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and garlic to the pot with the sausage and cook until they are soft.

  3. 3

    Pour in the chicken broth and the canned tomatoes with their juices.

  4. 4

    Stir in the Italian seasoning and bring the liquid to a gentle boil.

  5. 5

    Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until it is tender.

  6. 6

    Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup.

  7. 7

    Taste the soup and add salt and pepper if you need it.

  8. 8

    Serve warm with a generous sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top.

💡 Tips

This soup keeps well in the fridge for three days, but keep in mind that the pasta will soak up the broth as it sits. If you plan on having leftovers, you might want to cook the pasta separately and add it to each bowl as you serve it. A side of crusty bread is perfect for mopping up the extra broth.
