Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage mild or spicy, casings removed (or 1 pound ground Italian sausage)
- 3 medium carrots peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion peeled and diced
- 2-3 ribs celery diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper or orange bell pepper finely chopped
- 2-3 cloves fresh garlic finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning*
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 7 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 .5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups Ditali pasta or another small pasta dry
- 1 ½ cups fresh spinach chopped
- freshly grated Parmigiano cheese for serving
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, crumble the Italian sausage and cook until browned and no longer pink. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and drain any excess fat from the pot, leaving two tablespoons to sauté the vegetables.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add the onions, carrots, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another minute until the garlic is fragrant.
- Simmer the soup: Return the sausage to the pot. Add the chicken broth and diced tomatoes with their juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Stir in pasta and cook, stirring often, until pasta is cooked to desired doneness, about 10 minutes.
- Stir the chopped spinach into the soup, cooking just until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmigiano cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil. Serve hot. Enjoy.

Notes
- *Italian Seasoning: Custom blend: If you don’t have pre-mixed Italian seasoning, you can make your own by combining dried basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme.
