This is a great recipe! I made it for our weekly Friday night bonfire party, and we all loved it. It was quick and easy, and that's a must when I cook. I doubled the recipe for our crowd, and was very lax with measuring and being specific and it turned out wonderful anyway. I used 2 boxes of frozen chopped spinach in place of the fresh spinach leaves (to save money and time) and since it was as well received as it was, I'd have to say that was a good substitution. And with the beans and spinach, a pretty healthy soup as well. I will positively be making this again. Thanks for the recipe!!

Really satisfying on a cold night. I did make a couple of alterations - I used turkey sausage and added much more chicken broth than called for. I also forgot to buy picante sauce, so I used a tablespoon of hotsauce and a tablespoon of tomato paste to give it a little kick and a little color. All in all, it was exactly what I was looking for tonight, and I'm going to add it to my repertoire.
