Sausage Soup Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Brown the Sausage

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweet Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with juices) and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Once boiling, stir in the white rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Add Spinach and Season

    Stir in the chopped spinach, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

  6. 6

    Serve with Cheese

    Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with shredded fresh mozzarella cheese.
