I happened upon this soup on Pinterest this Fall from Yellow Bliss Road. I was looking for something hearty, but easy. And I had a bunch of frozen spinach I wanted to use up. This soup is a big payoff (yummy) with minimal effort (everything in the pot and simmer). My kind of dinner.
I made this on Halloween when our families were all over and everyone loved and commented on how delicious it was, it was gone quickly. I also love throwing slices of thick french bread in the oven until crisp, sprinkle some parmesan on top and put it straight into the soup. Like a big parmesan crouton.
This soup is perfect for these cold, cold days. Tomato base, a bit of spice from the sausage, tortellini and the hearty spinach all come together to make this yummy, super yummy, soup. Give this a try and let me know what you think!
