2 (14) ounce cans beef broth

1 (14.5) ounce can Italian-style stewed tomatoes

1 cup sliced carrots

1 (14.5) ounce can great Northern beans, undrained

2 small zuccini, cubed

2 cups spinach-packed, rinsed and torn (I use one box of frozen chopped

spinach)

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. In a stockpot or Dutch oven, brown sausage with garlic. Stir in broth, tomatoes and carrots, and season with salt & pepper. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.
  2. Stir in beans with liquid and zuccini. Cover, and simmer another 15 minutes, or until zuccini is tender.
  3. Remove from heat, and add spinach. Replace lid allowing the heat from the soup to cook the spinach leaves. Soup is ready to serve after 5 minutes.
