Sausage/Potato/Bean Soup
3 Hot Italian sausages, 1 diced onion, 3 baking potatoes, 1 10 oz. pkg. spinach (thawed), 1 can cheddar cheese soup, 1 can white beans (I use cannelli), salt, pepper, shredded cheddar cheese (opt), milk/cream
Brown the sausage and onions, (crumble sausage). Sometimes I add a SLIGHT bit of olive oil to help with the cooking. In the meantime cut up potatoes into bite size pieces. Put potatoes in with sausage/onions and fill pan to just over the potatoes, boil until potatoes are cooked. and rest of ingredients except spinach and shredded cheddar cheese. Heat through - add spinach, heat a bit more, serve hot with shredded cheddar (SO TASTY!) The milk to cream ratio will depend on how creamy you want the soup. I serve it in bread bowls sometimes and want it creamier - if I have company and it needs to go further - I use more milk. Heating it will make it thicken the more cream you use... just keep that in mind. Enjoy!!
