Ingredients

6 servings

1 lb hot sausage
28 oz can of petite diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans or 1 can
1 tbsp Italian seasoning (adjust to taste)
6 cups chicken broth
1 tsp kosher salt (adjust to taste)
3 big handfuls spinach (roughly chopped or torn if large pieces, about 6 cups)
Freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino romano (for topping)
2 cups cooked small pasta such as rotini (elbow, or ditalini *) Optional

Instructions

Cook and crumble the sausage in the bottom of a large soup pot or dutch oven. Once the sausage is cooked, add all the remaining ingredients (except for the spinach) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or so. Taste the broth and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add the spinach and stir to combine. Let it simmer just until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Ladle into bowls and add a scoop of cooked pasta to each, if desired. Top with cheese. Enjoy!
* I love using leftover pasta for this recipe. I make a little extra pasta with another meal a day or two in advance when I am planning to make this soup.
