Really.Good.Soup.


This is a recipe I gave to my Mom to make a while ago, she makes it all the time and I hardly ever do. But, it's really good, very simple and healthy. If you're not a huge veggie fan (SHAME ON YOU), this is a great way to get in a lot of nutrients without sacrificing any flavor. I suggest making this easy soup on a weeknight and you'll feel like you're getting something special. Pair it with a glass of white wine and a crusty baguette (toast it up in the oven)...perfect.

White bean chicken spinach soup:
(This is a big recipe- it makes 8 large servings....make it all, you can always freeze it!)
-2 pkg of chicken sausage (al dente, whole foods or Trader Joe's makes them...you can find them anywhere..comes 4 to a pkg)
-1 pkg or container of fresh spinach
-4 cups chicken broth or stock
-2 cans white navy beans or cannelloni beans
-2 cans diced tomatoes
-salt and pepper to taste
-feta cheese -to crumble on top

Here's the directions..... Add it all to a pot and heat!
Let it heat through and simmer on medium heat for awhile so the flavors combine.
(except for the feta- sprinkle it on top of your own soup right before you dig in)
