Cooking Instructions
- In a large pot, cook sausage over medium heat. Drain fat and add onion, celery, red pepper, and carrots. Cook for 3 minutes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper. Cook another minute.
- Stir in broth, tomatoes, and water. Bring to a simmer.
- Turn heat to medium-high and then add in pasta. Cover and stir occasionally. Cook 10 minutes, or until tender. Add in spinach, stir then season to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and top with parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
To make in crockpot: Add ingredients to the crockpot and cook on high for 3-4 hours. I recommend cooking the sausage beforehand and adding the pasta during the last half hour. This soup will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for about 3 to 5 days. If freezing, hold off on adding the ditalini.
