SAUSAGE AND SPINACH SOUP



Sausage and spinach soup image

This is the closest I could get to Bertucci's sausage soup. I find that the quality of the sausage meat you use is critical in the recipe and try to use better sausage whenever I can.

Sausage and Spinach Tortellini Soup image

My husband's grandmother used to make this soup with her own homemade sausage and tortellini. Since the recipe has been passed down, we don't hand make those ingredients, but this version is almost as good as hers. It's also an excellent way to get the kids to eat spinach!-Joyce Lulewicz, Brunswick, Ohio
