This was very good, and really quick to put together! I used 4 cups of water and 3 chicken bullion cubes to make the broth, so I only added half the salt. I couldn't find Italian-style turkey sausage, so I got a 14 oz. package of smoked turkey sausage. Also, I buy huge honkin' containers of baby spinach at Costco (I love spinach) so I just grabbed a big handful and threw it into the pot. I even forgot the butter at the end, but we didn't even miss it! You're right, the broth is excellent - albeit, a bit spicy - and I had mine more soupy while my husband had his more veggie-y. :) We topped our servings with a sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese and also had French bread on the side. My husband said, "yeah, dinner was pretty good!" so I could totally make this again without complaint. Thanks for another great recipe! Made for Spring PAC 2011.

I went to culinary school but decided to get into the wine business instead and am now pursuing a career in distribution. I still love cooking and feel like the kitchen is my canvas. I love the fresh food of the North West adn the availability of farmers markets and fresh fish.
