    2. 2 garlic cloves, minced

    4. 1 medium fennel bulb, thinly sliced
    5. 2 cups spinach, baby leaves
    6. 2 small zucchini, cubed
    7. 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
    8. 6 cups chicken broth
    9. 1 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
    10. 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    11. 2 teaspoons thyme, preferably fresh
    12. 1 teaspoon oregano, preferably fresh
    13. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    14. 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

    17. 1 lb lean Italian turkey sausage link, cut into quarters
    18. 1/4 cup water

Directions

  1. Saute olive oil, garlic, onions, and fennel in a large pot over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes. In a separate small skillet, cook the sausage links by browning them first on medium heat and then adding the water and covering for approximately 5-7 minutes.
  2. Once the onions, garlic, and fennel are aromatic and translucent, add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partly covered, for about 10-15 minutes.
