Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté carrots, onion and celery until tender, about 5 minutes. Add in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Meanwhile, remove casings from sausage links and roll the meat into 1/2" balls.
  • Stir in chicken broth and bring mixture to a boil. Add sausage balls to the soup and cook for 4 minutes. Then stir in pasta and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
  • Add in spinach, parsley and oregano and cook until spinach wilts into soup. Season with salt and pepper and enjoy!
Notes
*Serving size is about 1 1/2 cups of soup.
MAKE AHEAD: You can cook the soup a day or two before serving. For firmer pasta, cook and store the pasta separately, then add it to individual portions when reheating.
REFRIGERATE: Divide the soup into shallow containers and refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking. Store covered in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days from the day it was made.
FREEZE: Chill promptly, then transfer to freezer-safe containers or bags, leaving room for expansion. Freeze for up to 3 months for best quality. Pasta may soften after thawing, so freezing the soup without pasta is a good option if you’re planning ahead.
