Two types of beans, cannellini and Great Northern, contribute their creamy texture and nutty flavor, while chicken broth forms the flavorful liquid foundation of the soup. Seasonings like Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper work their magic, enhancing the natural flavors and creating a symphony of taste. Parmesan cheese, grated and sprinkled atop each serving, adds a touch of umami and a delightful cheesy finish.

SPINACH, SAUSAGE & LENTIL SOUP



Spinach, Sausage & Lentil Soup image

Perfect for when it's cold out! I just made this with ingredients I had on hand, and it turned out delicious. It was so easy! I don't usually measure herbs and spices, but I am pretty heavy handed with them. Do it to your tastes, but generally with peppers I add about a half a teaspoon to start.

SAUSAGE AND SPINACH SOUP FROM COOKING LIGHT



SAUSAGE AND SPINACH SOUP FROM COOKING LIGHT image

Categories     Soup/Stew     turkey     Quick & Easy     Healthy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients
10 ounce sweet turkey Italian sausage
Cooking spray
1 cup prechopped onion
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1/2 cup water
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5-ounce) can organic stewed tomatoes, undrained (such as Muir Glen)
1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 cups baby spinach
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons grated fresh Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Preparation Remove casings from sausage. Cook sausage in a large saucepan coated with cooking spray over high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Add onion and 2 teaspoons garlic to pan; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup water, beans, tomatoes, and broth. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly thick. Remove from heat, and stir in spinach, basil, and oregano. Ladle 1 1/2 cups soup into each of 4 bowls, and sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese. Wine note: This delicious soup needs a wine that's crisp and medium-bodied, such as a California pinot gris (aka pinot grigio). The wine's crispness balances the richness of the sausage and the density of the beans. At the same time, the wine's body is substantial enough to stand up to the weight of those ingredients. Try Morgan Pinot Gris "R & D Franscioni Vineyard" 2006 (Santa Lucia Highlands, California), $18. -Karen MacNeil

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the soup.
  • Brown the sausage: Browning the sausage adds flavor and depth to the soup. Be sure to cook the sausage over medium heat so that it has time to brown evenly.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Add the vegetables last: The vegetables will cook quickly in the soup, so add them last to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.

Conclusion:

Spinach sausage soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give spinach sausage soup a try.
