Prior to Thanksgiving, I had bought bulk Italian sausage for some recipes I had to make for various things. On my way home today, I was trying to figure out what I could do with the remaining 5 links to make a quick and easy meal. Well, it just so happens that I made the best soup ever. No really – it is my new favorite! It took 15 minutes and only 5 ingredients! Here is what you need (I happened to have all of these things which is how I came up with this simple delicious soup):
- Italian Sausage (any variety – sweet, mild, hot, turkey … )
- 1 can stewed tomatoes (with celery, onions, and green pepper included)
- 1 can white beans rinsed (such as Cannellini)
- 1 small container of beef stock (use stock opposed to regular broth, its more flavorful)
- 1 frozen bag of creamed spinach
That is all you need for this delicious 5 ingredient fix! Take the sausage out of the casing and brown in a pot. Make sure the sausage is broken up into crumbles and remove the extra grease. Once browned, add the can of tomatoes with the liquid. Break the stewed tomatoes up into smaller pieces. Add the rinsed beans to the pot. Stir these ingredients together and let sit for like 3 minutes. Add the container of beef stock and bring to a simmer. In the meantime, microwave the bag of creamed spinach following the directions. Once cooked, add into the pot and stir. The “creamed” part with mix into the broth and the spinach adds great flavor and color to the dish. I am telling you … this is sooo good! I did add just a dash of salt and garlic powder but I do not count those as ingredients! Such a comforting and delicious soup and my handsome husband loved it too!
If you make it, let me know how you liked it please !!
