I had a three pound bag of fresh spinach i needed to use before it went bad so i made soup.I had 2 links of hot italian sausage and 2 links of sweet italian sausage/w mozzerella in the freezer. so i threw the sausages still frozen in the stock pot on low and covered them. Cooked till they were defrosted and beginning to brown. Removed them from the pot and cut them in small pieces. there was nice bit of slighlty greasy liquid in the bottom of the pan. i browned three small chopped onions in that then threw in the cut sausage and browned it all for a while.

 

Just as it began to get really dark and started to stick to the pan, i added one quart of chicken stock and stirred till all the brown stuck bits were incorporated. then i added a quart of water and one more quart of chicken stock, i then filled the pot to the top with fresh spinach waited about 15 mins and added more spinach and kept doing it till all th spinach was in and wilted down.

 

i added a bit of oregano, some sea salt and some fresh ground pepper and cooked for a bit.

 

and thats it its soup. Now you could easily serve it with rice, or noodles or barley if you want a little starch, i didnt add it to the soup, cause i want to freeze the left overs an didnt want it to get all gummy.
