White Bean, Sausage and Spinach Soup image

Found in an AllYou magazine. Feel free to substitute smoked sausage for the turkey kielbasa. Nice light soup to use as an appetizer or main dish. Servings presented here are for main dish size bowls. Serve with a crusty bread and it will warm you right up.
