Notes
Read First:
Review the recipe and ingredient notes before starting for the best results.
Greens:
Swap spinach with arugula or leave out the greens. Add extra spinach if you like.
Extra Vegetables:
Green beans, zucchini, or 1/4 cup rinsed canned kidney beans work well. If the soup thickens, add a splash of broth.
Spice Level:
Heat varies by sausage. Use hot Italian sausage for more spice or add red pepper flakes with the garlic and seasonings.
If doubling the recipe, use a 3.5 - 4-quart saucepan.
